ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2021 Submission
Growing up in rural England, my passion for nature and its conservation was ignited.
On immigrating to the United States in 2001 and with time on my hands, I took instruction in watercolor painting. Since then have never looked back and enjoy picking up my brushes most days.
I have an overwhelming desire for detail and a love of color and texture.
Lastly am very concerned at how quickly the beautiful animals on our planet are disappearing.

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.

All animals are helpless when it comes to being protected. Nature is not fully protected and it has never being prepared to fight human destruction. Mankind has a long way to learn with these beautiful creatures that are our terrestrial animals.

ALASKA: Our Vanishing Future © 2021 Denise Weaver Ross | All Rights Reserved
ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2021 Submission
Denise Weaver Ross' Postcards to America series explores events and systemic problems in each of the fifty states in which the postcard dream of America is in direct conflict with its reality. She is submitting the Alaska artwork from this series. Alaska's state motto ""North to the Future"" was chosen in 1967 during the Alaska Purchase Centennial and was created by Juneau newsman Richard Peter. The motto was meant to represent Alaska as a land of promise. So this piece is called Alaska: Our Vanishing Future since it is beginning to vanish due to climate change.

I have always been inspired by world primatologist and anthropologist, Dr. Jane Goodall, who researched similarities between humans and chimpanzees. When I observe primates and other animals, I appreciate how even though they do not speak as humans do, they communicate with their eyes and behavior.
Many years ago, my anthropology teacher asked me if I was interested in helping save orangutans in Borneo. Since I am Indonesian, she perhaps thought that I could help communicate with people on the island. She invited me to the zoo to show me the project that was in progress to save the orangutans.
In November 2019, my daughter accompanied me to the San Diego Zoo. When we stopped by the orangutan enclosure, we spent time listening to the guide educate people about the great apes. My daughter and a female orangutan locked eyes with each other, only separated by a short dista

Disappearing Giants - Leopard © 2021 Megan Shilobod | All Rights Reserved
ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2021 Submission
As a traditional artist, my work is split into two worlds: the actual figures and objects that humans see every day to the intangible realm of the subconscious and superconscious, where psychologists and philosophers dwell. Inspired by myths, fantasy, and the natural world, my goal as an artist is to tie abstract ideas and concepts into insightful visuals that viewers can relate to their personal experiences. Disappearing Giants is an homage to the endangered mammals of our planet. A study of their dwindling numbers is symbolized by illustrated ribbons of their anatomy. It is my hope to cast a light upon their fragile yet wild existence and bring attention to the habitats and species that struggle to survive in our world.

Painted landscapes are my way of preserving a visual and emotional connection to the natural world as it currently exists. They also provide a reminder to contemporary and future viewers of what can be lost or saved depending on the priorities of present and ensuing generations.

ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2021 Submission
I work with a combination of Minimal Hyper-Realism and Dynamic Realism to achieve not just a realistic likeness of a my wildlife subject but an energized moment in time. I usually like working large scale and doing true to life sized work with watercolor and Acrylic paints, lately its been all about smaller more interment works of art in ink. I have always had a strong nature theme through out my work, creating a slice of life for my subjects. To pause on a moment of time and feel what a subject means in that moment and the world. Backgrounds are unnecessary information. I wanted that cross section of that animal life, just that moment, a shared moment between the viewer and that creature. Perhaps adding some environmental details for creatures that live in several ecologies to give context clues as to their location.

ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2021 Submission
My ""Mottled"" art developed since 2002-3 in my new style that merges abstract and expressionism with a touch of realism. The subject is created on a colorful abstract background to express feelings, often shown as a close-up, with special attention to the eyes and focusing on specific moods and composition.
In my paintings, I don’t intend to replicate photo-realistic objects, but to capture the utmost uniqueness of life. Illustrating my subjects, I often pay no attention to exact shapes, textures, or real colors and emphasize just on a small fragment, sometimes a very tiny detail, in order to insinuate an idea. That approach leads me to concentrate on what I feel and not what I see or know about the subject. Also, it helps me to effectively use visuals to depict a story about my subject. My art captures just an indication of a subject to leave the rest for my viewer’s imagination.

ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2021 Submission
The Jillian Blake style is a contemporary mix of abstract expressionism and modern abstract realism. Jillian Blake's paintings showcase her empathy born of too much grief giving her paintings an unparalleled depth. Her compositions are thought provoking and reality chasing.Her collections give her viewer an awareness of the artworks’ smaller abstract pieces, while anchoring the realism line of thought. A unique blend of bold vibrant colors is juxtaposed to the timid subjects of the compositions. Acrylics being her medium of choice, Jillian Blake has a keen ability to blend different techniques using ink, paper and resin allowing her distinctive approach to stand out within her art.
