Beyond her visual art, Muir co-founded the knitwear label Warm & Wonderful with Joanna Osborne in 1979. The duo gained international acclaim when Princess Diana wore their iconic “black sheep” sweater, featuring a single black sheep among a flock of white ones. This design became a symbol of individuality and has been reissued in recent years, maintaining its cultural significance.
Muir’s passion for dogs extends into her advocacy work. She has collaborated with organizations like Galgos del Sol, a Spanish charity dedicated to rescuing and rehoming abandoned hunting dogs. Her art often highlights the stories of rescue dogs, emphasizing themes of compassion and second chances.
In addition to her artistic and advocacy endeavors, Muir has co-authored several knitting books, including “Best in Show: Knit Your Own Dog,” blending her love for dogs with her talent in textile design. Her work continues to inspire and resonate with dog lovers and art enthusiasts alike.

Mighty Paw’s gear, including select leashes made in the USA, prioritizes control, comfort, and visibility to help keep pets safe during every walk or adventure. By choosing Mighty Paw, pet owners support a U.S.-based business committed to innovation, durability, and strengthening the bond between people and their pets.
