Pet Memorial Art Created by Laura Glusha: Children's Illustrator and Master Artist

Brea, California (PRWEB) June 18, 2008-Peternity.com, a place that helps people to honor the memories and lives of their pets, features master artist Laura Glusha, a commercial artist, painter and teacher with many years in the fields of fashion and children's illustration. Her work for Peternity includes hand painted pet memorials images on semi-precious stones that serve as pet memorials for all animals, from cats and dogs, to horses and birds. Rocks and gemstones come to life as she creates works of art, working in mediums such howlite stone, petrified wood, jade, agate and jasper. She brings the animal to life by matching the characteristics of a pet's photo with the characteristics of the stones.

 

Glusha wrote and illustrated the highly successful book, "Suck-a-toe", a story about the rehabilitation of an abused baby monkey, born at the Los Angeles Zoo, with whom Laura developed a special bond. She also did a drawing book of endangered species featuring the panda and the penguin, and a group of murals of the rain forest for the pediatric clinic of the Caremore Medical Group in Los Angeles. Glusha formed a company called Nature's Shadows focusing on the environment to involve children in animals and their habitats with Karen Muldrew, a puppeteer, writer and teacher. She has studied with some of the most proficient and recognized artists and teachers of our time, and now Glusha has reached the master level.

"Laura continues to privately teach students with extraordinary results in addition to designing pet memorial art for Peternity. Her beautiful illustrations can be seen in 'P.T's Big Surprise', a children's book published in 2007," said Colleen Mihelich, founder of Peternity.com.
