Based in New York City, Andrea and Paulina Canalizo operate The Dog Obsession, an artistic venture that captures the bond between pets and their owners. The Canalizo sisters are best known for their signature Nose Up portrait style, a specific perspective that illustrates dogs looking upward as they do when seeking affection or treats. This visual hook has led to high-profile community partnerships, including the retail launch of custom notebooks at Boris & Horton and a residency at Artists & Fleas in Williamsburg. Their work extends into local advocacy, often featuring adoptable rescues from organization foundations such as Wanda Fundacion Animales during live-doodling sessions. Recently, the pair successfully introduced their Pawlaroid booth, an interactive event format that provides pet parents with immediate artistic reactions. By blending fine arts with the NYC dog meetup circuit, they have transitioned from custom commissions into a scalable brand offering limited edition prints and merchandise designed for the modern pet-centric home.
