During recent years I have been saddened by so many stories of animal neglect and cruelty. In order to focus on the positive, I started doing colorful paintings of animals to express the joy they bring me. It was also my goal to contribute toward local animal rescue fund-raising. In July 2009 I donated framed prints to the Idaho Humane Society Lawn Party, which were sold at the silent auction.

    2010 has been rewarding with opportunities for donating to the Idaho Humane Society, Northwest Animal Companions,Spay Neuter Idaho Pets, and Boise Bully Breed Rescue.
