JJ Galloway, an internationally collected artist who has shown in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Cincinnati, Washington, D.C., and Miami, creates animal portraits with a culinary twist. Whimsical crowns composed of ramen, cupcakes, vegetables, and sushi top her furred and featured subjects. Her fascination with pets comes naturally—she grew up in a house full of search and rescue Bloodhounds (which is saying something) and now shares her studio with her rescue pup, Ruby. See JJ’s delightful illustration for “Foods To Improve Your Dog’s Health” on page 62.

Katie Nanton is a Vancouver-based writer with over 13 years of industry experience, a decade of which she spent on-staff at NUVO Magazine as managing editor. A lifelong lover of dogs, Katie looks for Corgis on every corner and counts a zesty little Corgi-Beagle-Aussie Shepherd puppy named River—owned by her friends Kim and Ward—among her latest obsessions. Turn to page 68 for Katie’s look at Rancho Luna Lobos, where a Utah couple is harnessing the power of dog sledding to rehabilitate rescue dogs.
