Snakes for Adults with Ray Palmer

Ever wonder what that creature is slithering in your yard? Here is your chance to learn! Ray Palmer will be offering an informational session for adults at The Mill District General Store and Local Art Gallery on Wednesday, August 6th from 4-5pm. Ray's passion for snakes has inspired some of her currently exhibited beaded jewelry designs.

Ray Palmer Artist Bio:

I started making jewelry work when I was 15 years old. After taking a break in college, I picked it back up and have been joyfully creating beaded jewelry ever since while also raising 4 children. My hope is that the people who choose to wear my jewelry will feel a little bit of the joy I experience when creating each piece.

Recently, I decided to work in my passion for animals into the beaded designs, and have started creating bracelets and necklaces with natural patterns from wildlife, primarily snakes. One of my dreams is to open my own wildlife rehabilitation center. Your purchase will help to make this dream a reality.
