ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2021 Submission

I didn’t set out to become an artist, but my passion for art began early on: in elementary school tempra paints, construction paper and ordinary glue represented a vision to be fulfilled. While other children longed for toys, my greatest excitement came from visits to the local hobby shop for paint-by-number kits. I would spend many marathon weekends working on these cardboard canvases. My second lifelong passion has been for animals – our pets, the birds that visit our feeders and all wildlife that surrounds us. Consequently, I specialize in pet and nature portraits; my artwork represents the special bond we share with the animals that have etched special places in our hearts.
