ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2018 Submission.

I create my art with the hope of inspiring people to take note of the beauty around them. I work primarily in acrylics on canvas, after having been a muralist for quite a few years. Canvas painting has afforded me the freedom to explore and create more independently. I am inspired by my love of nature and aim to portray that on my canvas. Whether I am at home in Florida or traveling I find breathtaking scenery everywhere. I capture bits and pieces and meld them into a realistic scene for the viewer. This painting of this puffin waiting to spot some fish is meant to share the beauty of these small creatures as well as to raise awareness as their numbers are dwindling. My wish is that future generations will have the opportunity to be awed by their beauty. I so enjoy painting that I have found it is a necessary part of me. I believe that God has provided us with so much beauty in nature and I would like to share what I see.
