The Stone Walrus Gallery Store is located on Salt Spring Island in British Columbia's scenic Gulf Islands. Owners Don and Nora Dietlein travel extensively gathering treasures for the gallery that reflect their love of animals.
Visitors are often amazed at finding such a wide range of art.
The gallery spans the globe with antique porcelain from China, vibrant paintings from Haiti, fanciful and mysterious kachinas from the American south west and breathtaking Inuit sculpture from the far north of Canada. About the Owners Animals have always been an important part of Don and Nora's lives. The couple met on a wildlife study conducted by Don in Kenya. Don graduated from UCLA with a B.Sc. He did his Ph.D. work in London and at the University of Nairobi, Kenya.
