A 7th grade student, Angela Hu, won the California Coastal Commission student artwork and poetry contest in 2009 with her piece, “Puffins in Paradise.”

Don’t you just love the vibrant colors? She did an amazing job capturing the essence and colors and personality of the puffin, didn’t she?

Puffin Trinkets

I found Sharon McSwiney while I was perusing for puffin things. She made a beautiful oxidized silver puffin necklace pendant and a glazed ornament of sorts that is by far one of the cutest puffin trinkets I have ever seen. See for yourself…

For the Love of Animals !

This is what this shop is about – my love of animals, painting them and selling art that helps protect them.

At eastwitching I am using my art to help people to appreciate animals and the integral part they have in our world. I hope to help raise awareness of animal rights, reduce suffering and cruelty by being able to donate what I can each month to several international charities as a result of sales on Etsy.

INTERESTING FACT
It was onced believed that a Puffin was a fish as well as a bird. People thought it was born from rotting piece of wood floating in the sea, instead of hatching out from an egg as we know it does today.
