About the Project
The Pet Story Project is a collaborative art project designed by artist Colleen Phelon Hall to create connection with a community of pet lovers through storytelling and art. Colleen prompts people to submit stories about their relationships with their furry family members along with a photograph.
Colleen gathers these stories and creates artwork inspired by the vulnerability of the shared stories. This is an archive of love letters.
