World-renowned artist, friend, and supporter of Center for Wildlife Ethics, Dean McRaine has generously donated a gorgeous piece of his artwork, entitled "Turtle Love" in support of CWE’s important work.
This is an original work by Dean McRaine of LightWave studio. From the last of the blue turtle series block - "Turtle Love" is a wheel thrown porcelain bowl (10" x 10" x 2") with a hanger on the back, high fired (2300 degrees) using Dean's colored clay millefiori technique. It is glazed with a clear glaze for durability and ease of cleaning (lead-free, non-toxic, food safe, microwave and dishwasher safe).
The fundraiser will happen in the form of an online eBay auction. This week-long auction/fundraiser begins June 8th, 2019 at 11:00 am Central Daylight Time.
CWE extends its deepest gratitude to Dean for his generous (and breathtaking) gift.
