Beasties!
Beasties! They are our animal besties.
Pets often become cherished family members, offering us companionship and support that can be difficult to express in words. These furry, feathered, or scaly friends provide unique care and comfort that often goes unacknowledged in our public personas. Beasties! is an exhibition of jewelry crafted by artists who have found steadfast support in their relationships with special animal companions. Curated by Jaydan Moore and Maggie Smith, this show is about relationships that feed people’s creativity. Each piece is displayed alongside an image of the beloved pet who has inspired the work, celebrating the often invisible but deeply loyal role these animals play as muses and caregivers. This exhibition is a tribute to the quiet yet profound connection many of us share with our animal companions.
