"Beautiful Stranger" shows how unexpected beauty can solve real problems. This original artwork transforms invasive python skin into fine art that both looks stunning and helps restore nature. The soft blues, pinks, and purples create a peaceful feeling that plays against the wild pattern of scales beneath.
Look at how the natural grid of scales makes the colors dance. As you move around the piece, it changes like dawn light on water. Some viewers see clouds through lace, while others see the tension between beauty and danger. Each viewing reveals something new.
This isn't just art about environmental issues – it's art that actually helps solve them. By collecting this piece, you support efforts to remove pythons from the Everglades, helping protect Florida's native wildlife. When friends ask about this piece, you can share a story of innovation and hope.

"I love the preservation aspect of the art as much as the art itself. The bright and iridescent colors are truly eye catching and, invariably with my guests, that has led to a really interesting discussion."

"From the moment I saw this blue bowl, I knew it was mine... I love the Shagreen and the color has an effect on me that I love! The gold on the sides of the bowl add such glamour and elegance. I feel lucky to have it.
Thank you Laura!"
