Hand-crafted jewelry and a love of dairy cattle are coming together to benefit the National Holstein Women’s Association Scholarship Organization (NHWSO) at 2011 National Holstein Association Convention in June. Dairy veterinarian, artist and owner of Cow Art and More, Dr. Kathy Swift is donating a portion of profits from her brand-new sterling silver jewelry charm to the scholarship.
Swift is personally interested in assisting NHWSO since she grew up in Virginia where she spent most of her time in her family’s registered Holstein farm. She is devoted to the Holstein industry, as a teenager she earned Distinguished Junior Member and was recipient of the National Holstein Women’s Association scholarship in 1990.
“Winning the NHWSO scholarship was something that made a big difference in my life and I am happy to help others with their education.” Swift added, “I believe strongly in helping the next generation along with their many endeavors. I know, without a doubt, that I wouldn’t be where I am today without the same help at that time in my life.”
Swift’s avid fan base will have to wait until the convention to know more details about the upcoming debut of the charm. Swift wanted to tell everyone, “I am very excited about the newest charm. It is something customers have requested, and I hope everyone will love it as much as I do.”
Cow Art and More is an online art gallery where “art and agriculture meet.” The website includes handpicked art from 25 artists including ceramics, paintings, photography, glass, and more. Cow Art and More insists on providing personalized customer service and offers a money back guarantee on purchases. Dr. Swift has obtained her Dairy Science degree from Virginia Tech and her doctor of veterinary medicine degree from The Ohio State University. She has since then moved to Florida to practice.
