Shelter dogs (and cats) need your help!

Shelter dogs (and cats) need your help!

 

 

As much as I’d rather just post about art and all the good things that are happening, our furry friends are in crisis. Just received the following message and there are more animals in the shelter today than ever.

MESSAGE FROM ANIMAL SERVICES June 2, 2009

* Our average intake is 2500-3500 but for the month of May, 4000 animals were admitted 

* The greatest number of animals at any given time in the shelter was 467, but today we housing 565 animals 

* We ran out of cages and are now putting together hurricane crates 

* Please help us (even an hour or two will help) spot clean in B, C and adoptions and assist adopters-we are drowning, short staffed and really need help asap-this is  a crisis!

‘Healing Fuschia Reflections’ channels healing energies

Healing Fuschia Reflections – a Nature’s Energy photopainting by Debra Cortese ©2008 

A 15″ x 12.25″ signed, fine art print of Healing Fuschia Reflections is now available for $60. (shipping included in USA) on my Etsy site.

This image was consciously created with the intent to share the healing energies of the fuschia flower and plant devas. An adapted version of this art will be available on a limited edition of handbags designed specifically to benefit the American Cancer Society’s ‘Making Strides’ program. The strong graphics and bold contrasts of color and design of the fuschia carry the dynamic and positive energies of health and healing.

Healing Fuschia Reflections will also be available as a fine art print on paper or canvas.

Sign up for my monthly newsletter and special announcements (when Healing Fuschia Reflections art and handbags will be available) and be eligible to win members-only giveaways of art and handbags. 

I welcome requests for custom Nature’s Energy images for your business or organization. Contact me via email: debra@debracortese.com
