Birthday Tribute to Jamie Veronica President of Big Cat Rescue

Birthday Tribute to Jamie Veronica, President of Big Cat Rescue

I wanted to create an action figure for Jamie’s birthday and commissioned Christina Hess to do this portrait of Jamie as I see her.

- Carole BaskinEven the posture and expression reflect how grounded she is and yet the wildness of her hair & surroundings demonstrate her passion and determination. Christina even detailed the tree amulet Justin gave Jamie in her necklace.

- Carole Baskin A totem is like a spiritual connection that says something about your personality. It comes to you in your dreams and helps you discover your hidden powers http://www.linsdomain.com/totems/pages/swan.htm
