Dear Bernard is a tribute to my 12-year old German Shepherd dog, Bernard (above), who passed away in January 2024, 2 weeks shy of his 13th birthday, and 1 year after the inception of the project. This photo project highlights the love between 50 New Yorkers and their senior dogs through images and letters written to our furry kiddos. The combination of words and visual images invites us to feel the bond that becomes stronger as they age, and the nostalgia that comes with it as we hold on tighter to their sunset days.

Currently, this project is in search for opportunities to bring awareness to the beauty and importance of adopting and advocating for our senior fur-friends and dogs in general.
