VISION & VASARI PRESENTS:

THE ESTATE OF CHARLENE JENDRY

August 21–23 | Vision & Vasari Showroom

2175 W. 5th Ave. | Columbus, OH 43212

Vision & Vasari is honored to present the Estate of Charlene Jendry, an extraordinary collection shaped by a life of curiosity, compassion, adventure, and a profound connection to people, animals, and cultures around the world.

Charlene’s remarkable journey took her from the Columbus Zoo to the mountains of Rwanda. In 1991, she became the first zookeeper selected by the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International to participate in its gorilla field research internship program. She spent six months at the Karisoke Research Center in the Virunga Mountains, observing mountain gorilla families and forming lasting relationships with local trackers.

Her experience in Rwanda became a defining chapter of her life. Charlene went on to help co-found Partners In Conservation at the Columbus Zoo, where she played an important role in advancing mountain gorilla conservation while supporting education, healthcare, sustainable livelihoods, and communities in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Her connection to Rwanda continued for more than three decades.

Among the most meaningful elements of her estate is her collection of African artwork and objects, reflecting her lifelong relationship with Rwanda and her deep appreciation for its people, traditions, artistry, and culture. The collection includes an intriguing array of artwork, textiles, baskets, carvings, pottery and objects gathered and cherished throughout her years of connection to Africa.

Charlene was remembered for her infectious laugh, warmth, courage, curiosity, and extraordinary ability to connect with people across cultures and communities. Her life was a testament to the belief that one person can make a difference.

ALSO FEATURED IN THIS SALE
