Hello!

Thanks for visiting my About Me page.  My name is Jessica Dadds.  I'm an artist living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.  I primarily create animal-inspired art and try to use recycled materials as much as possible in my work.  My screen name comes from Zoe and Shanti, the two wonderful dogs I am fortunate to share my life with. 

In my free time I enjoy bicycling, vegan potlucks, watching documentaries, gardening, farmer's markets, playing with my animals, and preparing for the two children my husband and I are waiting to adopt.

Thanks again for stopping by~

Peace,

Jessica

"The fact that the calves are actually killed so that the milk doesn't go to them but to us cannot really be right, and if you have seen a cow in a state of extreme distress because it cannot understand why its calf isn't by, it can make you think a lot." ~Kate Bush

“There’s a schizoid quality to our relationship with animals, in which sentiment and brutality exist side by side. Half the dogs in America will receive Christmas presents this year, yet few of us pause to consider the miserable life of the pig—an animal easily as intelligent as a dog—that becomes the Christmas ham.” ~Michael Pollen, The New York Times Magazine
