Benefit for Coco's Cupboard Rescue

Written By Roman Coia

Stipey Millie

Happy to share that two of my favorite pet portraits, Stipey and Millie, were accepted into the South x Southeast Gallery exhibition “Dogs and Cats”.

This exhibit, curated by Nancy McCrary, benefits Coco’s Cupboard Rescue, with a percentage of all print sales going to the rescue.

Thank you Nancy for a fantastic show and supporting a great cause!

Whether it’s a person or pet, Roman’s primary goal when creating a portrait is to share his interpretation of a subject’s inner being, beauty, and vulnerability. In addition, he looks to expose a certain tension between their interior world and how it relates to their conscious exterior facade.

Roman resides in southeastern PA with his wife, daughter, and 4 dogs (Kayla, Piper, Sylvia, and Scout), where they are fosters supporting the Philly Bully Team – Philadelphia Pit Bull & Pet Rescue.
