Acrylic on cradled birch panel.
16x20"
Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen... you may know her as the Mother of Dragons, but here she is Mother of Dachshunds!
20x16x1.5"
The acrylic painting is done on cradled birch panel with raw wood edges and varnished with a semi-gloss UV protectant coating to resist fading over time.
"Mother of Dachshunds" is part of a series of pop-culture-inspired acrylics in vibrant colours that brought as much joy to paint as they hopefully will bring to collectors who choose to hang them. I love creating that feeling of surprise, a laugh, or smile, in the viewer, by presenting a familiar subject in an unfamiliar or unexpected way.

Kristin Fardy is a queer, genderqueer woman artist who paints from her home studio in downtown Ottawa, Ontario. She is a self-taught acrylic painter whose work is collected across Canada and internationally.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
I love creating art, but my favourite thing to make is to make the viewer smile, laugh, or experience a sense of surprise. Whether it’s a film character playing a musical instrument, or The Rock coming for your cake pop, I love bringing something unexpected to every piece I create.
