Thank you to everyone that has commissioned custom pieces with me. I'm putting commissioned work on hold for the meantime. However if you are interested in being put on a waiting list for when I start working on custom pieces again, please get in touch. At this point, I dont know when that will be but if you wish to express interest, please email me at sarahhartist@gmail.com and I will keep your details on file and contact you by email when my books reopen.  Thank you ❤️

Meet Stanley! Well, what can I say about my man, Stan. He's a brindle whippet lurcher and arrived here as a foster from the pound in carlow. When he arrived first, I noticed he was much bigger than my two whippets and had a very different personality. He was a real live wire (and quite frankly a bit of a nightmare!). He wanted to mark everything in the house every minute of the day, had separation anxiety, chewed things he shouldn't and had bad gut and skin problems. I also soon discovered his reactivity on a lead. So, I had...

Meet family member number 2. Sally, a beautiful tiny blue whippet. Sally came to live with me on new years eve just before Covid hit. Millie was lonely and I wanted to get her a little whippet friend. I noticed Sally on the Cork Dog Action Welfare website and got in touch.

First up is little Millie, I've had her the longest. I estimate she was about 2 when I adopted her so she's possibly 10 or 12 yrs old now. She was a rescue from Cork Dog Action Welfare. I dont know much of her history apart from that she was picked up as a stray and found herself in the pound. She was beyond terrified when I first brought her...

Hey! Thanks for being here! This photo was taken of me over 15 years ago! How time flies by! I'm sharing this photo because although alot has changed since then, one thing still remains, my passion for dogs!

I grew up in Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin and this photo was actually taken on Dun Laoghaire pier. Although I have lived in...
