ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2018 Submission.

You may think my paintings are photos at first glance but they are not, although I use photographs as one of my many tools. The most exciting part of being a wildlife artist is going

out into the field to gather the reference and sometimes painting on locations. That means

coming face to face with some of nature’s most prized possessions - its wild creatures. I want the viewer to share my journey and the beauty that inspires me.

On a recent conservation trip to Kenya I was able to see many different endangered animals. The experience touched me deeply.

I use intense color and dramatic lighting to convey my experiences often using oils or pastels to do so.

I hope that you will join me on my adventure.
