A Memorial Portrait for Ray: Tyger.

Written By Nadi Salement Riche

This past month, I was given the honor to capture the sweet spirit of Tyger, a handsome bulldog boy. He and Ray, his human, were best of buds. The reference images of them together made me warm with sentimentality.

I have never gotten the chance to meet Tyger physically, but it is clear his life with Ray was a life of love, and I hope I was able to make that evident in my work.

Thank you, Brittnee, for commissioning this piece. It was a beautiful, and inquisitive process. I am forever grateful for this, and opportunities like these.

To anyone struggling with the loss of a pet, my condolences to you; I hope you are able to take care. All my love, outward. Merci, Nadi.
