I am thrilled to start a new endeavor that involves my greatest passion: ANIMALS. After 30 years of an amazingly fulfilling career, creating and teaching art, I have retired from my university position to focus on this new nonprofit entity, create art, and to linger longer in all that I love. Through visits to shelter animals available for adoption, it is my hope that we can help spread love and knowledge so that they can find a forever home. Our visit highlights will be shared in a blog, and the individual critters will be celebrated in a variety of 2D art media that will be for sale on this site. All profits from sales of art on Paper. Ink. Paws. will support our charitable activities, and our partner animal shelters.
Oliver, the dog, is my muse for many things: art, music, soaking in the sun, hikes in the hills, and he is now the inspiration for this online adventure. We found him in the Fall of 2015 when he came to us as an itty bitty from Furever Buddys in Roosevelt, Utah. THANK YOU FUREVER BUDDYS!!! We feel like we are the luckiest dog parents in the world (most of the time!). Just to be abundantly clear, Ollie is NOT up for adoption. He is, however, the dashing model appearing throughout our website, and he may also make the occasional appearance as a guest blogger. This venture is completely new to all of us, so we’ll just roll, romp, hike, create, and grow with it.
What we most look forward to are all the new critter and human friends we’ll meet along the way!
