"Recover" is a symbol of resilience amidst the threats the ocean faces while also portraying the importance of sea kelp as a vital underwater ecosystem. The vibrant colours serve to highlight its beauty and our responsibility to protect it.

Engaging in rough play, a young male (Eastern Lowland) gorilla jumps on his father's back; grabbing handfuls of hair in the process. The inspiration for this sculpture comes from the years of childhood roughhousing with my own father who died in 2014. The title "HORSEPLAY HURTS!" was his way of telling me to knock it off. This allegory represents father and son bonding at its very best.

I admire the uniqueness of all animals, but there is a very majestic quality about male lions. I have featured my lion as pensive and alert, but not aggressive. Painting the fine fur details is enjoyable for me, creating light and shadow, as the lion's profile is highlighted.

Puppe is North America's oldest Sumatran Orangutan, residing at the Toronto Zoo in Ontario, Canada. She has been at the Toronto Zoo since it's opening in 1974, and just celebrated her 56th Birthday in September -- with the great gift of a new outside habitat! Here's to her good health ahead.

This is an adult male orangutan residing in a zoo. He has such a mischievous grin that I wanted to capture. Orangutans are classified as critically endangered so this contest is a great way to make a small contribution to help them.

In Hope, we find a reason to strengthen, to protect and preserve her species. This is a call to action to secure a future where chimpanzees and all endangered species continue to thrive in the wild. Be brave, do good, love, be the change you wish happened.

The mountain lion looks on as the fires rage all around her. Smoke fills the air and chokes her lungs. She surveys the landscape wondering where she will take her cubs to keep them safe from the dangers that consistently threaten her habitat.

They are a couple. With such human characteristics, we can’t help but love and protect them. I studied orangutans, photographed and sketch them at the San Diego zoo. The composition was of my own design as I wanted to tell a story. I have also been on safari in Africa experiencing the natural habit.
