The other day on the Allison Shamrell Photography Facebook page, I posted a little sneak peek at a brand new San Diego art display in the process of going up… to be specific, a pet photography display in Kearney Mesa! Here’s the photo I posted:

 (please excuse the iPhone photos)

It turns out, this San Diego art display is a new addition to Lindsey Vet Care! Dr. Bruce Lindsey has been a veterinarian serving San Diego’s pets & their families for over 40 years; this is his newest practice and his lobby now features a custom creation by yours truly!

I’m so thrilled to have my pieces here in the lobby & exam room. Local businesses are so important; they are truly what keep America moving forward. By supporting small businesses, you’re keeping your money in the local community instead of a big-box executive’s pocket. (For example, when you shop at Target, you’re helping the CEO buy a(nother) personal jet, but when my clients make their purchases, they’re helping me pay my student loans & save for a down payment on a house here in the local community – not to mention allowing me to support & go out to eat at other Adams Avenue small businesses every once in a while.) So that’s why I never have much interest in patronizing large chain stores, whether they’re a pet supply shop or anything else. Dr. Lindsey’s veterinary clinic is a great example of a small local business that I’m proud to help decorate, so without further ado, here is the finished display!

It features Moose, a border collie/labrador mix. (And another happy face is in the exam room, too – but I’ll leave that as a surprise for visitors!)

The pieces are all individual canvas gallery wraps. Let me tell you, this kind of display isn’t easy to put together: it requires precise attention to each component’s dimensions & fitting them all within my lab’s ability to make certain sizes. Designing & ordering the pieces is challenging, and then putting them on the wall is a small battle all its own! Let’s just say it took me a little longer than I’d like to admit to put together, haha! (And I may or may not have pulled a muscle in the hanging process… don’t judge.)

Here it is with the rest of the lobby/reception area.

You can even see it through the front door!

I’m honored to have my artwork hanging on display in such an excellent clinic, and I hope it puts a smile on the faces of the visitors that come in! If you’re in Kearney Mesa, feel free to swing by & say hello! The clinic is at 7740 Clairemont Mesa Blvd San Diego, CA 92111. Moose will be waiting for you!  :)
