ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2021 Submission

I paint in acrylic, mostly nature based subject matter, aiming to bring awareness to the need to protect and preserve threatened and endangered species and their ever decreasing habitats and highlighting The Everglades. I'm drawn to color, flow and movement in my artwork and try to evoke a feeling/emotion, showing my love of nature and incorporating some life experiences living in Ireland and Florida.

The natural peaceful beauty that surrounds us is my inspiration - some scenes are so breathtaking, they just call to be painted and what better tribute than to capture a moment in time with brush strokes on canvas, to view forever. I have experienced many cultures and sights, having traveled extensively, and may explore this in future paintings. I admire the wonderful paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe and James Stroud.
