They are both available in pet supply stores nationwide. Lennox’s work has been used in a number of publications, books and magazines includ- ing “Art in America,” American Artist Magazine and Connecticut Children’s Museum. Lennox has also done graphic design for such companies as Aetna, General Motors, United Technologies, Hartford Hospital, Mason & Madison Advertising and Public Relations, Scandinavian Airlines and www.bluebuff.com.

Lennox holds a Bachelor’s of Fine Art, Magna Cum Laude in Painting from Syracuse University, a fellowship to the Yale Summer School of Music and Art, and a Master’s of Fine Art in Painting from Yale University. Lennox has taught art at all ages in numerous programs from kindergarten through college. “In addition to her professional success, she is an outstanding educator at ECSU, earn- ing a great deal of recognition and contribut- ing much of her time and energy to improv- ing her educational community,” said
