READ NOWMs Norton said she had been working on a series of artworks for a while before the exhibition, which is her first in three years.
“I’ve always been a dog lover and I’ve supported the refuge for about 10 years,” she said.
“The exhibition celebrates the role of dogs in our lives and the way people use dogs for different purposes; it’s not a deep message.
“There are working dogs and companion dogs – I’ve got a chocolate labrador called George and he’s a crazy boy.
“There are more than 50 pieces of work in the exhibition and it would be wonderful for people to come along and bid for the artwork.”
The exhibition will be opened by Red Dog movie producer, Nelson Woss.
