If you like whippets, and happen to love original art work, check out WhippetArt, an art gallery featuring whippet paintings.

The paintings are the work of Hilda Spain-Owen whose subjects are primarily whippets and other sighthounds. Her work has been shown in galleries in Florida, Alabama, North Carolina, Delaware, and New York and is in collections across the United States.

Spain-Owen works to support sighthound rescue groups by donating original works for auction. Through her donations, rescue groups in Florida and North Carolina have raised thousands of dollars to help with adoption and medical costs associated with sighthound rescue.

If you happen to be in the Wilmington, North Carolina area between March 10 and April 4, 2006, visit The Artists Gallery at Lumina where her work will be on dislay.
