Stephen Huneck is not a name you might know, but his art you would recognize. He was an American wood carving artist, furniture maker, painter, and author. Most of his later artwork is composed of carvings of dogs. Huneck credited the change in his artwork to his dogs coming into the hospital and bringing him out of a long coma. He also created Dog Mountain and the Dog Chapel there, which was introduced to the world as a symbol of peace, love, and remembrance. In the more than 20 years since, (22 this year) it has been transformed into a living piece of communal art and history, ever-evolving with each new note and photo pinned to the overflowing walls. The Chapel has become a unique and moving physical embodiment of the unending love people have to give. It is an amazing place. And I will be telling stories at 12.45 pm and 1.30 pm or close to it! There’s a lot going on, and times might slide about a bit!
