I am so grateful that you have discovered Animal Envoy! I have been a maker of jewelry for many years and I am delighted to finally share it with whomever might be touched by my art. I find inspiration from the Colorado mountains where I live, from the animal world, from iconography in art history, and from the idea that we all have a story to tell, a heart to reveal, a world of memories that extends beyond our place in time.

While doing research I came across this quote which offered me a name for my shop. An envoy is a messenger and I love the idea that living within us is an animal that carries the story of all that has gone before.

"Neither in body nor in mind do we inhabit the world of those hunting races of the Paleolithic millennia, to whose lives and life ways we nevertheless owe the very forms of our bodies and structures of our minds. Memories of their animal envoys still must sleep, somehow, within us; for they wake a little and stir when we venture into wilderness."
Joseph Campbell, The Way of the Animal Powers
