Beau Dunn's office holds the Plastic Series Barbies, the books she travels with, and the three causes she gives back to: The Art of Elysium, Road Dogs & Rescue, and 30 Birds.
The Plastic Series Barbie portraits are sold through Phillips Auction and beaudunnart.com.
A Los Angeles nonprofit that pairs working artists with hospitalized children, homeless youth, and elderly in care — using art to make the hardest rooms a little softer.
"They were one of the first to put me on a wall when I was twenty-three. I'll keep showing up for them forever." — Beau
Visit · Donate →An LA-based rescue for special-needs and senior dogs that the system gives up on — bulldogs in wheelchairs, blind seniors, the ones who need the most. Run by Lori Welbourne and a tiny team that does the impossible weekly.
"The dogs nobody picks are usually the ones I love most. Road Dogs is the reason a lot of them get to grow old." — Beau
Visit · Donate →A foundation built around women, girls, and the freedom to learn — supporting education, safe shelter, and creative voice for those whose schooling has been interrupted by displacement or crisis.
"Thirty birds. Thirty futures. This is the work I want my art to stand next to." — Beau

There are some humans, if they are lucky, who get to share a lifetime with a soul they recognize the moment they look into its eyes. French Fay was mine.
He was James's and my first child — our soulmate, our everything, long before there were tiny hands and bedtime stories. People love to say that once the babies arrive you stop loving the dogs the same way. For us it was the opposite. Having children only made us understand him more. He became their first big brother. He was already the softest place in the house.
Eleven-and-a-half years. Anyone who knew Frenchie knew he was not an ordinary dog — he was a magical being, the kindest soul, and deep in a way that's hard to put into words. He saw you. He waited for you. He carried something old inside him. I will spend the rest of my life grateful for the time we were given, and looking for him in every quiet, knowing little face that reminds me of his.
"If you loved him too — or just have room in your heart for the bulldogs still waiting — make a donation in Frenchie's name to Road Dogs & Rescue. That's the legacy he'd choose."
