Her profile:
'I am a vegan artist living in California and Israel. I have a BFA in Painting and an MAT in Art Education from the Rhode Island School of Design. I paint and draw images of animals, hoping to express and share my love for nature and all living things. I also love to create jewelry from vintage and found pieces, turning them into something new, wearable, and beautiful. I welcome custom orders! 10% always goes to the Etsy for Animals Charity of the Month, reciepts of my donation are available, although not for tax redemption.'
