The Big Dog Art Trail has reached an exciting milestone as the final artists and their Swindog designs have been chosen.

At the end of last year more than 200 designs were shortlisted to 60 and now the final 30 designs have been selected.

A pack of 30 Swindogslarger than life balloon dog sculptures - are set to be unleashed across Swindon during the summer of 2023. The uniquely decorated sculptures will create the UK’s first-ever balloon dog art trail and will raise essential funds for local children’s hospice charity Julia’s House.

The final list includes artists from Swindon, and nearly a third are from the South West.

Among them are Judy and Morgan Guillery, a mum and son duo from Mouldon View in Swindon.

Judy runs Judee Tree Art and has been involved in various art projects in Swindon.

She likes to include typography in her art work along with a positive message.

Her design is inspired by nature and growth, and she has named it Love Grows. She also wanted her design to reflect her art journey, which began with family trees, hence Judee Tree Art.

Judy hopes her sculpture will bring happiness to children when they discover it along the trail.
