My palate of mixed media on canvas creates the extraordinary visual texture of the Rhino's thick skin. I combine the substantial weight volume and dinosaur-like structure with unusual colors to emphasize the incredibly rare and ancient presence of the Rhino.

This picture shows a Tiger protecting his territory and way of life. His facial expressions and the dark bamboo grove are the main idea reflecting the situation in which endangered animals are in today. He is a symbol of self-defense and on the other hand the fragility of the animal world.

This painting depicts the clearing of Florida's natural habitat and a reflection of what once was. Animals that were once found in the state have disappeared. Unless the remaining ecosystem is saved Florida's black bears will suffer the same fate.

A little girl stands in harmony with animals. Her bare feet connect with the soil. While the roots in front of them lead to an unknown place some look pensively to the future while others look to us. The decisions we make after all will impact their world.

There are five species of rhino remaining in the world, and three are critically endangered. While habitat loss is a factor in their declines, poaching is the biggest reason we are losing these amazing species from our world. The largest populations of rhino are in South Africa, but experts believe they will be extinct in South Africa within 10 years. Though the numbers of poaching has decreased since 2015 there is still an average of one rhino killed every day all for the sake of their horn.
