In the new Heather LaHaise art show, Scent, opening on Wednesday June 15th at Stormwater Studios in Columbia, SC, the artist says, “Dogs possess an amazing sense of smell and the scents they gravitate to inspired this series. They have the unique capability to analyze smells well beyond any human. Aside from being our best friends, They sniff out bombs and drugs, pursue suspects, find dead bodies, and even help find cures for disease.”
She continues, “In SCENT. I have researched and then selected 20 scents (one per painting) they are drawn to. I hope to acknowledge the scent, while at the same time create a work that appeals to the human visual sense!”
While LaHaise’s portfolio certainly includes her share of abstracts and attractive, inviting interiors, like the one above, it is her collection of canine portraits for which she has become well known.
