Life is Golden

Life is Golden was designed and painted by professional London-based artist Becky Smith.

A gold guide dog sculpture with a multi-coloured floral and nature pattern including butterflies and birds. The dog has a red collar and a yellow harness with black handles.

Design summary

The design is inspired by life itself and nature. It will glow in the dark to represent seeing things from a different perspective and to show that sometimes things are there that you just can’t see.

Sensory items

We asked our artists to come up with a scent and a touch item that relates to their design to give a multi-sensory perspective to their concept. Some of these items will be incorporated into our sighted guide and sensory tours. Becky's sensory items are:

  • Touch and scent items: Flowers and fruits as shown on the design.
