ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2019 Submission

A giraffe reaches toward the light with ease. He gently inspects and basks in its glow while I bask in his.

I know animals have a soul. For me, it's never a question of whether they do or not, it is merely a matter of truly seeing them in their brilliance. I love portraying animals with objects that lead the way .. a lantern, a light, maybe a simple sparkle in their eyes that show their depth. They love, play, learn, teach and mourn and sometimes they lead better than we do. I strive to show these animals expressing meaning through my canvas, I cant help but feel I owe it to them, to somehow reveal them.

I know animals have souls. It's my levy to show it in some small way. For my artistry, I use many mediums from watercolor, oils, acrylic and even silver, clay and song.

When I am not painting, My partner and I are rescuing the littlest among us, be it a squirrel, bird, dog or the like. Animals speak to my heart. I do my best to speak for them.
