For the Love of Animals: Wendy Gold Studios Partners with Marin Humane

SAN ANSELMO, Calif., October 13, 2026 -- Wendy Gold Studios, the woman-owned California art studio known for its Handmade Globes and map art, announces a partnership with Marin Humane, the Novato-based animal welfare organization serving Marin County since 1907. All net proceeds from the Studio's pet-themed collection will benefit Marin Humane to support its mission to transform lives through exceptional animal care, humane education, and advocacy.

The collection features Wendy Gold’s Dog Map of the World, Cat Map of the World, Dog's World Globe, and Cat Globe of the World, each built from vintage maps layered with illustrations of dogs and cats collaged across continents. 

For the first three purchases from the collection, Gold will hand-customize the artwork to include the buyer's own pet, adding their dog or cat directly into the design.

Wendy Gold Studios is located in San Anselmo, only a few miles from Marin Humane's campus, where the organization provides shelter, medical care, behavior support, and adoption services for animals across the Marin County.

The pet designs are among the Studio's most requested and the globes are among Gold’s recently launched Handmade Globe Collection, a premium line of more than 40 original art globes. 

"Every piece I make is about someone's world, the places they've been and the things they love most. For so many of us, an animal is right at the center of that," said Wendy Gold, artist and founder of Wendy Gold Studios. "It's deeply fulfilling to bring together my love for animals and for my local community here in Marin County by teaming up with Marin Humane, and I hope it helps more animals find the people who will build a world around them."

"Shelters everywhere are stretched thinner than they've been in years, and support from our own community is what keeps this work going," said Lisa Bloch, Director of Marketing and Communications at Marin Humane. "Having a local artist like Wendy put her work behind our animals means a great deal to us. This collection lets animal lovers bring home something beautiful and send real help to the animals a few miles from their door, and with Adopt a Shelter Dog Month in full swing, the timing couldn’t be better.”

The Dog Map, Cat Map, Dog's World Globe, and Cat Globe are available now at wendygold.com. Net proceeds from the collection will be donated to Marin Humane.
