My Best Friend
Rachel Carroll
I have chosen to paint the dogs of Sydney Children's Hospital staff and patients for this series because they represent pure joy and companionship in our lives. And we all need sparks of joy in our lives.
Each portrait captures the unique personality of these animals - from their expressive eyes to their playful smiles.
These works are inspired by seeing how dogs bring gentle comfort to people. I hope that patients, staff and visitors can find moments of peace through these portraits.
