Snakes for Kids with Ray Palmer

October is the month for creepy crawly creatures and local artist, Ray Palmer, would love to show you a couple of her favorites.

Join us in The Local Art Gallery on Saturday, October 25 at 3pm to learn more about the creatures that slither in your yard. Ray has a special place in her heart for snakes and is excited to demystify these frequently misunderstood creatures for you and your family.

Learn a little bit about snakes lives, how to recognize different species, and tips on what to do when you meet one in the wild. Then, meet Naga, Ray's very friendly pet corn snake. If your are interested, you may even get the chance to touch Naga!

While you are here, explore Ray's beaded jewelry exhibit where many of the patterns are inspired by snake skin patterns.

Free Family Friendly FUN! Donations to artist accepted. All ages welcome with adult accompaniment.

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.
