“A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life.” attributed to Isadora James.
Sisters: I am blessed with having two remarkable and loving sisters tucked close in my heart and celebrate our lifelong sisterhood. I am the oldest, then Christine and Lori Jo the youngest – we all share a particular passion for art!
Jewelry: Kathi Turner’s wearable art pendants designed with love especially for Christine (left) showcasing fluid freshwater pearls and for Lori Jo (right) with a centerpiece of fabulous piece of blue Fordite – in the same shade of blue as Lori’s 1979 Corvette!
Mixed-Media: Based in Ketchum, Idaho, Christine Warjone is a mixed-media, non-traditional artist and world traveler. With camera and paintbrush – using wood, metal, acrylic and canvas – she creates ‘the subject's story in a way that honors and connects.’ View Christine’s website at CWarjone.com (photos courtesy of Kathi Turner)
Watercolor: Based in Littlerock, Washington State, Lori Jo Devlin ‘captures years of observations in her dog, cat and equine portraits.’ Her love for the Great Pacific Northwest is depicted in artwork featuring the local wildlife and flora. Lori Jo skillfully draws commissioned true-to-life tender pet portraits in her home studio: Art from My Heart. View Lori Jo’s website lorisartfrommyheart.com (photos courtesy of Kathi Turner)
This watercolor that Lori created is of a particular breed called "Brangus" and was given to me as an extra special birthday present – notice the ear tag identifying the year I was born. I raised this type of cattle ranching on the high desert in Oregon and we named this calf “Lottory”. (photo courtesy of Kathi Turner)
Sisterhood: Not only biological – a sisterhood is made up of supportive women peers and friends. It’s a womanly affinity that happens naturally when character traits, values, interests, and personalities click with mine and I experience a deep recognition of sisterhood. I feel that affinity with each of you who connect with me and express in many ways your appreciation of my works of wearable art. I sincerely look forward to continuing and building upon our relationships.
