Back of Denim Jacket

These drawings are samples of my past wildlife sketching which grace my home. It wouldn't be the same without our "Peaceable Animal Kingdom!"

The same affect can be achieved when burning leather. Some pretty incredible wildlife leather jackets, purses and stools could be accomplished!

Pencil Drawing of Goslings "Just made for each other"

This is a sample of the polar bear

I painted on my pink leather jacket.

When my daughter and I visited the Toronto Zoo a few years ago we went to the underwater viewing area in the polar bear exhibit. The exhibit was crowded and as my daughter is in a wheelchair the viewing was impossible. I was becoming frustrated and all of a sudden the crowd moved away without my asking. I wheeled Holley up to the glass and we watched as the polar bear was swimming. All of a sudden, it turned it's head and swam right to the window and looked at us. As Holley and I put our hands up against the window, the polar bear put it's paw right against mine and held it there while it spoke to us without words but not without understanding. This became a moment which we will cherish till the end of time.e

Shaman Medicine Wheel Turn Table

This turntable was created out of a plain glass "lazy susan". I created the wheel using aluminum leading (adhesive) and high quality Pebeo Glass Paint. Approx. 22 inches in diameter

Sample of "Story Teller" Jackets and Coats

This is a custom painted full length leather "Peace on Earth, Goodwill to All " Coat"

I call them "Story Tellers" as this one uses the messages of the eagle, dolphin and grizzly bear. The eagle is the symbol for "Sacred" as it flies the highest and in doing so is said that it is the only one who has touched the "face of God". In Native American Indigenous beliefs the grizzly bear is the animal totem for manifesting your dreams into reality. The bear goes into its "Den" to create visions for its path in life and in the spring it manifests them into real life. The Dolphin has long been recognized as healing of special needs children and adults as well as the one species which brings smiles to just about everyone and in doing so, has a healing affect on their experience of life itself.
