Georgia is the largest of the Southern states and is known for baseball, peaches, and good old fashion Southern hopitality. Interestingly, Georgia was the 13th British colony named after King George II. The colony originated out of Savannah which today still holds on to it's historic charm. Atlanta is home to the Atlanta Braves which hosts its semi-annual Bark at the Park event (see link under GEORGIA LINKS) as well as great shopping. The Buckhead area, which is North of Midtown, offers high end shopping and exciting night life. Also, the Atlanta History Center is located in this area. The center offers interesting collections of art, historical information, and Civil War artifacts. Visitors may also visit the Swan House and antebellum Tullie Smith Farm and garden.
But there is much more to Georgia than just the big city of Atlanta. From the charming city of Athens to the historic district of Savannah, Georgia is a wonderful state to visit with your dog. Additionally, Jekyll Island, Georgia was named by www.PetVR.com and www.americasbestonline.net as one of the top 10 on America's Best Dog Beaches.

LOCAL ARTIST...

Lisa Gleim is part of a long line of Southern artists, some of whom are also successful portrait artists. She has always had an interest in painting, and even from an early age, was committed to becoming a traditional portrait painter. Ms. Gleim is strongly influenced by John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt, and Cecilia Beaux, three of the great American Impressionists. A graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Ms. Gleim has recently studied under Cedric and Joanette Egeli and Margaret C. Baumgaertner and John de la Vega. She finds it very important to continue her education and believes "an artist's education is never-ending."
Ms. Gleim began painting pet portraits in 2001 after the loss of her 14 year old Golden Retriever, Bonnie. Her husband Bill Jonas suggested painting a portrait of Bonnie would help ease the pain of the loss. She soon discovered that she was not the only one who considered her pets part of the family. Since then, Lisa has received numerous portrait commissions for dog, cat and horse portraits, many of which have brought their owners to tears after seeing their pets immortalized on paper.
Ms. Gleim has also taken the opportunity to combine her two passions and uses her talent to benefit animal organizations. She has donated numerous pet portraits to local animal organizations year after year, including the Humane Society of Cobb County, the Atlanta Humane Society, the Atlanta Animal Alliance, Dixie Golden Retriever Rescue, and Happy Tails to name a few. Her portraits are always a highlight of the event and bring the groups well needed funds. She sees her donations as a unique way to aid animals in need. In 2004 Ms. Gleim became a member of the Artist's Registry of the American Kennel Club's Museum of the Dog.
