Stephen Hubbell, Weaverville, California, in his bio for Dogs In Review wrote: When I was 8 years old my grandmother gave me some oil paints and brushes. My parents encouraged me to continue painting and drawing, and after high school I attended the L.A. Trade Tech College. When I turned 18 I got a job as a Technical Illustrator for Lockheed Aircraft. From there it was industrial art, ad agencies and a position as an art director in Southern California. I taught myself fine arts. My first dog art was a drawing of my Boxer when I was in high school.

Linda Budge, Cave Creek, Arizona, in her bio in Dogs In Review wrote: The creative spirit has always been my passion, even as a child. My mother gave me crayons, scissors and paper, and I was satisfied for hours. I didn’t do serious painting until after I was married. My husband John was in medical school and spent long hours studying. Although I was working full time as a legal secretary, I needed something to do in the evenings and on weekends. John gave me a wonderful gift, a small box filled with oil paints, brushes and several canvas boards. My first painting was an old man with a cat draped over one shoulder. I thought it looked pretty good when I finished, and took it to a nearby gallery. The owner of the gallery placed it on the floor and while he was giving me words of advice, a woman entered the gallery. She picked up my painting, and said, “I love this painting, but there’s no price.” The gallery owner grabbed me by the arm before I could say a word and directed me into the back room. “How much do you want?” he asked. Having no idea myself, he suggested $15, and so I sold my first painting.
