Meet the Owners of The Giraffe House...
Bert Lybrand is the Executive Director of The Giraffe House as well as the artist behind many of the most celebrated works in the collection.
Lisa Allen Lybrand (1956-2021) was a wife, mother, and Gigi ("Giraffe Grandma") and the 'raison d'etre' behind The Giraffe House Collection & Gallery.
A special kind of love brought these two wacky Californians to Portland over 40 years ago —and it's now Bert's continued devotion to Lisa's legacy that has brought the GH Project to life.
