Linda St. Clair Foundation

to Benefit “Pet Peace of Mind”, Hospice at St. Luke’s Hospital, Boise, Idaho
“For the love of Jackson”
Linda St. Clair was an American contemporary wildlife painter. She was best known for her vibrant art of
domestic and wild animals. She and her best friend, Spring Spaniel Jackson, were traveling thru Boise,
Idaho when she collapsed at her motel and was taken to St. Luke’s ICU. Jackson was placed at the Idaho
Humane Society when Linda’s friend, Pam Eggemeyer, contacted Idaho Dog Park to see if we could pick
him up and foster him until Linda gets out of the hospital. Jackson was part of the IDP family for a
month. Linda sadly past away and Pam found Jackson a forever home in Colorado. Instead of flowers to
be sent in memory of Linda, her son, Kevin asked that donations be sent to Idaho Dog Park to help foster
other dogs in need. Idaho Dog Park contacted Pet Peace of Mind, an organization who partners with St.
Luke’s. Their mission is “to enrich the quality of life and well-being of hospice and palliative care patients
by providing a national support network to help care for the pets they love. They envision a nation
where all patients have the support they need to maintain the loving bond with their pets.” Kevin and
Linda’s friends thought this would be exactly where she would want these funds to go. We never met
Linda but her sweet Jackson melted all our hearts at Idaho Dog Park.
All donations received for the Linda St. Clair fund will continue to be sent directly to Pet Peace of Mind
through the St Luke’s foundation.

We want to thank all those who have donated.

“My goal is offer the viewer a rare, if not surprising, glimpse into an
animal’s individuality, it’s endearing qualities and often complex
internal state. I want my work to tell a story, to make us feel a
connection with the subjects, to remind us all that upon closer
inspection, animal emotions and relationships are not unlike our own.”

The Dollmaker

JN1- 329 and 330 $45.00 each 10″ x 8″ Image

In the Beginning, grandmother made seven dolls for the seven campfires of the Teton circle. Grandmother told the mothers to teach and train the dolls because The People would only be as strong as their ability to teach and train their children.

The dolls were to be handed down through the generations so all of the children to come would have the teachings of the grandmother and the first mother.

These dolls have been recreated by internationally known artist J. Nelson with knowledge, great reverence and respect for the ways of our native american peoples. They emphasize the importance of all of our children, the way that we care for them and the need to teach them the things we should all know in our hearts.

Larry Favorite , Ironwood & Turquoise

Larry Favorite hand- crafts all of his work from dense fine ironwood he gathers from the Great Senora Desert. He loves the sheer joy of being at one with the wood to release the beauty he finds within. He enjoys the process and the challenge of looking at, and listening to each piece of wood until it reveals what it wants to become. Other than the ironwood itself, he intricately inlays turquoise, opal, and sterling silver into each work. Click on Image to Enlarge.
