Studio ArTour Artist Julie Fakler is painting a new series of portraits of the SAFE Sanctuary animals. SAFE (*Saving Animals From Euthanasia) Sanctuary is a non-profit volunteer organization that fosters animals in the Faribault area.GeneralSM

This project is helping artist Julie Fakler refine and improve her painting style, focus on composition, and the study of color. SAFE Sanctuary has provided Julie with a variety of models that have challenged her ability to paint different breeds of cats and dogs.
