ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2020

2nd Prize Winner - Fine Art

The elements in the environment—every leaf, animal, cloud—they, without question bend gently toward the light. So do I. It’s with this notion that I collaborate with my environment to bring these spectacular scenes in nature to canvas. And this collaboration of the elements, me included, combines to transform a simple piece of canvas into an experience to share. This is my intention; to take in these scenes and express my gratitude for being part of it by painting landscapes and wildlife from around the world.

Recently, I ventured through Kenya and Tanzania on safari, visiting five breathtaking preserves. Returning from the wilderness, I created a special series capturing the adventure and story of these incredible, and often threatened, animals and birds. They say ‘every picture tells a story,’ I hope to evoke feelings of serenity and grace,to create awareness about their vulnerability and need to protect them.
