Disquiet, a high relief sculpture of a Lowland Gorilla, connects to the viewer’s ability to introspectively contemplate the future. The destruction of our environment puts all species on the planet in danger. The gaze of the gorilla anxiously peers into the distant future, bringing a heightened awareness to what our reality may be. By creating an emotional connection with the viewer transference of the disquietness depicted occurs.

Life is seen through illumination and shadow; the play of colors reacting to atmosphere. The wild things are found disappearing into them or shining before them and this is what I seek to capture. It's a passion that fills my life, and glorifies the God who makes it possible. Soli Deo Gloria!

This spectacular herd of elephants came excitedly down the hillside right as we hopped back into our safari vehicle in South Africa. Elephants are close to my heart...their intelligence, the care they show to one another, their comical behaviors....will never grow old for me. I savor every moment I have spent with wild elephants.

I wanted to bring awareness to the public how important each individual animal is to us, our planet and our eco system. We are all one and need each other. Therefore we as humans have the responsibility to protect the endangered species because they save our native fish, plants, and other wildlife from going extinct. Once gone, there's no going back, and no balance.
