Receive an Amazing Drawing of your Favorite Animal!

We know that many of you have come to know and love the animals here at IEAS. Whether it be through your visits to the Sanctuary or by reading about them on the website, you have come to care for these magnificent animals. This summer, you will have a special opportunity to receive a spectacular, black and white drawing of your favorite animal. Nissa Marione, an Animal Care Intern this summer, is probably the most talented artist we have ever had come through our program. Nissa would like to donate her time and talents to provide you with an amazing 8x10 drawing of your favorite animal. To our many adoptive parents, this is a wonderful opportunity to receive a unique drawing of your adopted animal! All proceeds will go strictly to the Intern Programs here at the Sanctuary. Check out the photo and illustration below to see just how talented Nissa is!

Nissa Marione grew up in Milford, PA. She graduated from the University of Maine in May of 2006 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in Psychology. While in school, Nissa worked as an Animal Care Intern at the Greenville Zoo in SC and also spent time working with wild song birds as part of her undergraduate theses. Additionally, she took a wildlife ecology course that explored the diverse ecosystems and animal species of Brazil, involving a two week trip to the region. After her internship at IEAS, Nissa hopes to continue my education and career in field of animal care and conservation.

Nissa would like to ask for a donation of $200 for each portrait and $250 for each full body sketch that she does. All proceeds collected will directly benefit the IEAS Intern Programs.
