"how i became famous, as told by zoe, the boston terrier" ...written and illustrated by Celeste Vaught

Pets can enrich our lives in unimaginable ways. Those who know us understand how much we love our little Zoe, a Boston Terrier. Since she was a tiny, 2 pound baby, she wiggled her way into our hearts and has filled our lives with countless hours of laughter. On occasion the laughter turns to frustration...but those times are rare.

Anyway, it's been said that if you paint what you love, it will show. That's what I've done and thought it would be sweet to compile a collection of such paintings with a little story. "how i became famous, as told by zoe, the boston terrier" is the first book written and illustrated by Celeste Vaught. The illustrations throughout were created with acrylics and feature a loose, energetic style with a limited color palette throughout. The images have been described as full of joy and energy - the perfect description of Zoe! It's turned out really cute and is now available for those who are interested through blurb.com You can click the link below to enjoy a preview.

Congratulations Celeste!

This looks just terrific. Zoe is such a character... and your paintings sure show it!

Oh my goodness Lauren - if I included all the zany things she does, the book would be HUGE! Thank you.
