Each year a substantial portion of my sales is given to various animal rescue operations, and the goal of my art is to bring attention to, and encourage support for, as many of these wonderful organizations as possible.
My ‘day job’ is commercial real estate, and I live in the north desert horse country of Scottsdale, Arizona with my husband James, an Episcopal deacon, and our three rescued dogs. As a self-taught artist I work to express my love of animals in an ever-increasing variety of jewelry designs.
The ivory components I use are CITES-certified fossilized mammoth (never elephant) ivory. My jewelry may also include Native American animal carvings of naturally shed antler or jet, and these are often whimsical and sweet. I hope you enjoy wearing my work; it is meant to serve as a gentle reminder to everyone that we share this earth with countless amazing creatures deserving our concern and assistance whenever possible. |
