Pets of the Pandemic Are the Stars of This New Art Exhibit By Stephanie Simon New York City PUBLISHED 4:51 PM ET Oct. 05, 2020

When Sara Lauth walks around her Inwood neighborhood, many recognize her rescue dog Elby. He really is a bit of a star. Lauth, an art teacher, has been drawing and painting him during the pandemic. She submitted a portrait of him for an online art exhibit called Pets of the Pandemic.

What You Need To Know

• Many artists who didn't have access to models during the pandemic turned to their pets to be model, muse, and friend

• Gallery owner Nadine Witkin relied on her cat Max to keep her spirits up, and decided to organize an online exhibit of painting of pets called Pets of the Pandemic

• Many artists who suffer with anxiety and mental illness said their art and their pets helped them get through these difficult times

• Pets of the Pandemic art exhibit is up through November 15, and the money raised will be split between the artists and an animal rescue organization
  

"I Iove making art anytime, but I find when I'm drawing dogs it's like this extra therapy because it's the same as playing with a dog,” said Lauth. “The art is a therapy and then drawing the animal is therapy."

Elby is an emotional support dog and Lauth said he’s helped her with anxiety during the pandemic. He put smiles on the faces of her students who drew him, too.
