Thank you for visiting the Ark Art 4 Hope website. Ark Art 4 Hope is dedicated to saving the lives of animals, big and small. This website was created to assist various animal organizations in their fundraising efforts and for pet owners to have renderings of their favorite family members (the ones that bark, meow, chirp, growl, etc.) to cherish for years. When you purchase a hand-drawn picture of your pet, a portion of the money is donated to local animal shelters. My name is Nancy Grillo, and I have been an artist and an animal lover for longer than I can remember. I enjoy using various mediums, but charcoal and pastels are by far, my passion. I've done everything from portraits, paintings, room murals...and so on.
Please browse my various "Gallery" pages and view some of my recent work. Had I been less busy drawing, sketching and painting, I would have thought to keep mementos of all my work throughout the years! I hope you enjoy my pieces, and more importantly, help raise needed funds to support our local animal organizations. Thank you! AND THE WINNER FROM THE 'BARK IN THE PARK' IS...... Joanne Scanlon!! Congratulations, Joanne! As the contest winner, Joanne received a complimentary drawing of her cutie-pie, "Obie". |
