Jonwah was a beautiful lioness rescued from a muddy backyard “zoo,” called Cricket Hollow in Iowa. She was so hungry, she ate rocks and straw. She suffered from brain damage from starving for so long. Jonwah held onto her great heroic need to survive, but her body could not recover from the abuse she endured and passed away while many of us held our heart bursting in tears. She passed away peacefully at The Wild Animal Sanctuary.  A portion of this sale will be donated to the wildanimalsanctuary.com

This piece was inspired by a dream I had where a dolphin was swimming through clean beautiful waters with a needle and thread attached to its tail.

This piece was inspired by a magical moment when I saw a very large dragon fly hanging upside down on a branch in my backyard tree.

Honoring my Irish heritage….
