If your pet had their own personal museum, what would be on the walls? We posed the question to our team, and their answers were both adorable and heartwarming.
Gracie
Owner: Marcie DePhillipo, Haverford Director
Art Selection: Nathalie Boissonnault, Do You Want To Be My Friend
“Gracie would choose Natalie Boissonnault Do You Want To Be My Friend because it’s a good representation of her and her BFF Francie. Francie is Nana’s new rescue and when they met they were fast friends. They get to hang out every time Mommy goes away! This was when we had our first official snow of the year.”

Marley
Owner: Etta Elliott, Gallery Assistant
Art Selection: Dennis Campay, Operator
“Her favorite piece is Operator by Dennis Campay because she loves the marsh and birds! She also thoroughly enjoys Campay’s Neo-expressionism and his play with shapes and color in this work—it excites her!”

Martini (Marti)
Owner: Betsy Johnston, Chevy Chase Co-Director
Art Selection: Aron Hill, Black Hole in a Purple House with Orange Roof
“Marti chooses this painting because he would swim right into this dwelling, as he likes to be in the dark, and often resides inside his purple home in his fishbowl. He is from Clemson, South Carolina, and orange and purple are his school colors, so this piece represents his color preferences well.”
Wymore
Owner: Amanda Henry, Marketing & Design
Art Selection: John Brandon Sills, Summer Clouds
“Wymore would love to have Summer Clouds by John Brandon Sills in his collection because it reminds him of visiting his grandparents in Virginia Beach and romping around in the ocean. He also loves to relax, so he would appreciate Sills’ peaceful, atmospheric style.”

Birdie
Owner: Chelsea Little, Art Consultant
Art Selection: Hunt Slonem, Bayou Teche
“Birdie earned her name when I heard her “chirping” in my attic after Hurricane Ida in Louisiana. I was very surprised to find a tiny kitten, instead of a baby bird! To this day she more so chirps, than meows. She would definitely choose one of Hunt Slonem’s Bayou paintings to be able to reflect on memories of her native home. Her “tuxedo” fur may be black and white, but her personality exudes color with a bright, warm, friendly demeanor and innate sense of adventure.”
