I'm Hayley, and in 2015, I quit my job in marketing for a children's charity and started Dog and Swan in order to see if you all would like my funky, fun, weird and whimsical, quirky and kooky artwork... My pieces are inspired by favourite poems, books, nursery rhymes, animals and illustrators. I try to inject humor into them, like a saucy seaside postcard. Sometimes I upend a perspective. Sometimes I just like to be silly. Every piece has a story behind it, if you want to know more about it just ask! I hope that Dog and Swan pieces will make you smile, surprise you or trigger a nostalgic memory each time you look at them. Because art pieces should be conversation starters, talking points, so that anyone who comes to your home will also be delighted by them and enjoy them too. Most common phrase heard from my customers: "I've never seen anything like it!" ​
