The Art of Giving Back
Kerri Warner’s website describes her as a mixed-media artist, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. Warner is indeed a celebrated mixed-media artist known for collage, sculpture, mosaic and portraiture, but she’s also a deeply devoted community member who has held leadership positions at nonprofits such as Sacramento Ballet, HandsOn Sacramento and the California Conservation Corps Foundation. And she’s donated her artistic skills to dozens of community projects.
Harry, the Lovable Mutt
High energy would be an understatement when it comes to describing Harry, a 12-pound terrier mix who was named for his likeness to the pre-bath scruffy mutt in the classic children’s book, “Harry the Dirty Dog.”
Simon de Vere White and Alina Cervantes adopted the wiry black-and-silvery pooch last year from the Sacramento SPCA as a family dog for their daughters, Mari and Kyle.
Funny Bunny
Dakota, a fluff ball of a rabbit, has made himself right at home with his new family. In fact, he has pretty much taken over their Carmichael residence. A large wire pen has a permanent place in the great room. Cardboard boxes of varying sizes line up to form a tunnel in one corner. Small, inexpensive rugs are strewn about for better traction under those bunny feet.
