This week, until April 29th, you can purchase $5 chances here to win this original oil painting of Melvin, the tripod and earless pig from Odd Man Inn Animal Refuge in Janesville, TN. The painting is framed and ready to hang – canvas size is 24 x 18. Making this art package even better, Kat von Cupcake wrote a poem to accompany my painting. You can also view the many other wonderful art packages and purchase chances to win any of those items, all to benefit the sanctuary. Melvin lost his ears and his leg due to an altercation with a dog before he was taken in and rehabilitated by Odd Man Inn. His recovery is truly amazing and a testament to this strong boy’s will to survive.
One of my studio partners, and former shelter bunny, Mr Bean, is a model for the Bun Fund Spay/Neuter Campaign Fundraiser this year. Love this boy!

For International Rabbit Day, Saturday, September 22nd, we have a donor match, dollar to dollar up to $500 for donations made to the Friends of the Animal Shelter Bun Fund! These funds ensure that all rabbits coming into the Jackson County Animal Shelter as strays and surrenders are spayed or neutered prior to going into adoption. This helps more rabbits stay in their new homes as behavioral issues are lessened, they are easily litter box trained, and female rabbits avoid common reproductive cancers, as well as unwanted litters of baby bunnies every month. Help us grow the Bun Fund and take advantage of this generous match.
Join us for an afternoon of wine and books at a FUNdraiser for Friends of the Animal Shelter (FOTAS) on Sunday, April 23rd at Dana Campbell Vineyards in Ashland, 1:30PM – 3:30PM! All proceeds from the sale of Love Rhymes with Everything: animal ruminations through poetry and paintings will be donated to FOTAS. Kat von Cupcake and I will be on hand to sign books, share some of the background on this collaboration, and read some of the poetry. Prints and note cards featuring my art will also be for sale to benefit FOTAS and wine and snacks will be available for purchase. The event is free and open to the public, but since this event is hosted by Dana Campbell Vineyards, you must be at least 21 years old to enter the winery. We hope to see you there!
