 Welcome to GREYHOUND STUDIES by KATHY HOYNES
Greyhound Studies is the home of the original artwork and clothing designs of Kathy Hoynes. Kathy was born and raised in Chicago and has been drawing since the age of 3. Her very early scribbles were of people and animals and those same themes are found in her drawings and watercolours today. In 1998, she created Greyhound Studies after adopting her first greyhound, the lovely Winston. Much of her artwork since then has showcased the elegance and natural beauty of the greyhound form. Many of Kathy's greyhound themed designs are featured in a line of clothing and merchandise she sells. Over the years she has donated her time and talent to create logos and designs for many greyhound adoption orgaizations across the country. Since 2000, Kathy's illustrations have been seen in CG Magazine and in 2004 her illustrations were nominated for a Dog Writers Association of America Award. Kathy's artwork graces the walls of private collections across the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. Kathy's newest works are in association with Julie tenBensel of Chamo Wear, Inc. where her designs have taken a delightfully zany twist on the world of reptiles.(www.chamowear.com ) Kathy also hosts the Internet radio program "Greyhounds Make Great Pets" - now entering it's 5th year - which showcases not only greyhound related advice and information but topics of interest to all pet lovers and can be found at www.greyhoundsmakegreatpets.org with a related discussion board at www.greyhoundsmakegreatpets.com In addition to Kathy's art, the Greyhound Studies website features interesting greyhound trivia, reviews of greyhounds in the arts and on film, adoption group information and a message board where all greyhound owners are welcome.
