I designed the Jackrabbit necklace 2 years ago. The idea was a Predator | Prey series: the prey are very fierce and the predators are kind and gentle. The concept of the series was to challenge our stereotypes of what it means to be the prey (weak, scared, bad) or the predator (powerful, strong, good); the reality in nature is both the predator and prey rely and depend on each other. Neither survives without the other; this is balance in nature.

I had been painting the necklaces for over a year when, in the fall of 2016, I started working on original art based on my most popular jewelry pieces; the first piece was the Jackrabbit.

The second necklace in the series is the Grey Wolf.

People ask me if I have a rabbit, and the answer is no. However I do have a 24 pound cat that does look like a rabbit.

The Small Jackrabbit necklace is available in my store. The Jackrabbit pastel drawing is also available as a print.
