Geordie Duckler heads The Animal Law Practice, a unique private law practice in Portland, Oregon. The Practice’s clients are companion, domestic, commercial, and exotic animal owners, and its main focus is on the resolution, litigation, and trial of animal-related disputes and harms in cases at the state and federal levels. An outspoken advocate for owner’s rights, Geordie has had his cases reported on and has been interviewed by several national print publications and radio stations. The Oregonian, The National Law Journal, Newsweek, The New Yorker, The New York Times, National Public Radio, National Geographic, and the BBC are only a few where Geordie has been featured.

Geordie has made art solely as a private hobby for the last 30 years, working primarily in acrylic paint on wood and metal, in metal constructions, and in chalk. He has mostly been interested in detailing animal-related themes, and in the incorporation of poetry and color into hand-drawn sketches. Geordie is surrounded by a family who span the wide range of all the fine arts: his mother is a stage actress, his oldest sister a modern dancer and dance choreographer, his middle sister a published poet, his twin sister a painter and gallery owner, and his younger brother a writer. Geordie’s long-term goal in art is to eventually learn how to do professional anatomical illustration.
