Excerpt from the interview
FROM ADVOCACY TO ART
Karla, a seasoned advocate for businesses and nonprofits, never expected to create a coloring book. Originally, she and her business partner discussed writing a guide on advocacy or entrepreneurship — but Wesley inspired a completely different kind of project.
With the help of illustrator Johnny Ott, they transformed photos of real pets and their humans into charming, hand-drawn scenes. Every page features an actual person or pet, serving as a thank-you to the family, friends, and neighbors who welcomed Wesley into their lives.
COLORING WITH A PURPOSE
Coloring isn’t just for kids — it’s proven to reduce stress and promote relaxation. That’s why Wesley & Friends is more than cute art; it’s designed as a therapeutic tool. Karla’s team is donating copies to nonprofits with color therapy programs, making it a gift for both the heart and mind.
