While Robert Juniper may be best known for painting the West Australian landscape, he is caught here distilling the family dog. Behind elegant foliage lies the dog, unaware of the artist’s presence. Refined yet poised, ‘Shelley’ is about finding grace in the minor moments, quiet weekend afternoons spent reclining beside the family pet.

Juniper is a highly acclaimed artist and two-time winner of the Wynne Prize. ‘Shelley’, elegant and warm-hearted, is beautifully presented – framed and ready to hang. For collectors of Juniper or dog people, ‘Shelley’ is calling you.
