Framed print from wildlife photographer, Kelly Mieszkalski. Choose from one of the following 8x10 images: raccoon, elk, grizzly bear, Canada lynx, moose, toad or gray squirrel. Framed piece is 16.5"x12.5". Kelly Mieszkalsi grew up in central New Jersey before moving to North Carolina full-time in 1993. She studied art in college and has always been inspired by the beauty of nature and wildlife. She has been taking photos since her parents gave her a disc camera back in the early 80’s. After working over 25 years in research and nonprofit management, Kelly took a leap of faith to follow her true passions. In the last few years, Kelly has proven to be a gifted wildlife and nature photographer and has been mentored by award winning photographers Tin Man Lee and John Marriott. Kelly is also a talented pressed flower artist. Her love of flowers developed at a young age, and was strongly influenced by her grandmother, who introduced her to the beauty and wonder of hydrangeas and their magical changeable colors. She has been growing and pressing flowers and using them in her art for over 25 years. Through her photography and art, Kelly hopes to inspire others to protect critters big and small.

Additional Information
Our mission is to improve the lives of all domestic and out in the wild animals in our county! Advocates of Contra Costa County is a group that urgently formed in 2024 in response to the rising numbers of animals placed on euthanasia lists in Contra Costa County and the policies that don't go far enough to provide resources for the shelters or rescues working hard to keep our furry friends free from harm. AACCC serves as a hub to help rescue groups and volunteers, do outreach in the community as well as advocacy work educating the community and elected officials of the important needs of our county animals. We’re optimistic that all these efforts are making a huge impact on the animals but it takes time, perseverance, and of course, funding. This auction and fundraiser on February 23rd 1 - 4:30 in the Richmond Hills, are raising funds to support the work of Stitch in Time Animal Rescue (STAR), a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing medical intervention to injured or sick animals and saving them from neglect, abuse, preventable suffering, and unjustified euthanasia. Since its founding in 2018, STAR has provided rigorous evaluation, medical care, fostering, and adoption, STAR does everything within its power to ensure that these animals receive the compassion and futures they deserve. Since its founding in 2018, STAR has rescued and rehabilitated hundreds of animals, providing second chances and ongoing care for animals who would otherwise face a life of suffering and early death from injuries, illness or euthanasia at institutions that could not treat or house them. Len Welsh and the devoted board members of STAR are passionate animal advocates and have spearheaded efforts to address overcrowded shelters, rescue at-risk medically compromised animals, and find them loving homes. The auction is online until 8 am on February 23rd, and then goes to in person at our fundraiser.
