For the 2024 catalog cover, we had custom pet portrait artist Ashley White devise a cover that introduced our community to a valuable albeit sometimes overlooked member of the shepherd community – the noble livestock guardian dog. Ashley selected graphite (pencil) on bristol board as her medium. The cover features a Great Pyrenees keeping watch over the herd from a barn while a sheep cozies up next to its loyal protector. The barn scene wraps around the back of the catalog to reveal the rest of the herd and a lamb settling in for the evening.
Ashley received a degree in Illustration from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2006. Since graduating, she has focused on growing her career as a freelance web designer and user interface designer. Recently, she has taken up fine art again and is accepting custom pet portraits and art commissions through Etsy.
Ashley lives in Damascus, MD with her husband and two sons. She also has a shepherd-boxer mix and two horses.
