Winston — a golden retriever from California.
The portrait that started it

A golden retriever, and eight years in one frame.

Winston spent his last chapter in the care of the veterinary team at UC Davis. His portrait was assembled from 347 photographs gathered across his eight years — walks, naps, the ordinary mornings that turn out to be the ones you keep.

From across the room it is simply his face. Lean in, and it becomes 347 smaller days — every tile one of his own photographs, nothing invented, nothing generated.

That is the whole idea: one portrait read at two distances. The whole of him from afar; up close, the eight years that made him.

Where he is now

He hangs at the school that cared for him.

In memory of Winston, Anne Marie gifted his portrait to the UC Davis Weill School of Veterinary Medicine, where it is displayed at the Center for Companion Animal Health. Winston’s Golden Promise was established in his memory to advance canine cancer research with focus on hemangiosarcoma.

Best on a large screen. It starts silent — turn the sound on if you would like the music.
