Melissa Langer lives in Louisville, Colorado with her husband, Fred, her parrotlet, Gilbert and her pug, Emmitt. Melissa loves to paint pugs and other dog breeds she lovingly calls Pug Pals.Her joy in life is to share her art with others.

Artists's Statement:
My pug and dog paintings embody the toothy grins and wagging tails that happily greet us throughout our lives. I know I have succeeded when my artwork lights up the viewer's eye with a spark of recognition of an old friend. Whether the connection is from childhood or current day, that kind of smile is always contagious. My passion is working with acrylics on wood. I love how the paint glides across the wood, often revealing a subtle natural grain of the surface below. Capturing the spirit of each dog for people to deeply connect to and enjoy is the true focus of my efforts.
