ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2023 Submission - Fine Art Category

Making art is one of the things that help get me through life; ever since I was a child, I have doodled and played with art, but it wasn't until 2015, when I sustained a life-changing injury, that I took up Art on a more regular basis by starting with a Diploma in Art and Design.

My professional background was as a vet nurse in animal rescue centres. I would love to be able to make a difference in the world through art like I felt I did with nursing.

During the pandemic, as we were all locked up, I felt this pull to do something for animals, so I started a series of paintings on endangered species for those that can’t speak for themselves.
