Joanne Knauf Paintings for Sale to benefit Pug Rescue

PugSpeak is making available two Joanne Knauf original pug paintings to the public. Proceeds from the sale of the paintings will be donated to the Colorado Pug Rescue and Prairie Pugs Rescue.

Contemporary artist and dear friend, Joanne Knauf, passed away in March 2006. Joanne lived in Pretoria, South Africa and while she painted scenes and subjects indigenous to her homeland, Joanne’s real passion was pugs. Joanne was particularly inspired by her own puggy brood - Pugzelle, Biscuit, and Pablo Pugasso. This passion was reflected in over 65 pug paintings.
