Collab With Zion & Exodus from the Out of Africa Wildlife Park in AZ 

Picture
ft. Exodus making Pawprints. Captured by Brittney Olson from Out of Africa Wildlife Park.
I collaborated with Exodus (pictured above) to create a stunning piece which helped raise some money for tiger conservation! :)

​Exodus is a lovely three year old Bengal Tiger, residing in Arizona's Out of Africa Wildlife Park & Sanctuary. He enjoyed some tasty milk as he was making these pawprints.

You can watch Exodus & definitely Zion through videos on Insta & TikTok here:

"Kindness of the Giant Panda", work in progress from 2019, 36"x36" oil on canvas || The Giant Panda is no longer an endangered species as of today, and I believe that's because so many people care about them. Because of that attention, the panda's natural habitats are protected which in turn protect a ton of other species-- making the Giant Panda an umbrella species. All of the animals on the branches represent those that the panda in a way protect because they live where the pandas live. (aka the Flying Red Squirrel, Clouded Leopard, Golden Pheasant, Tamrin, Golden Snubbed Nosed Monkey, Red Panda etc) Main Source used: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/extinction-countdown/giant-panda-conservation/

Endangered Animal Series

This series focuses on telling each endangered animal's story by showing scenes of where they live and why they became endangered in the sky while physically disappearing into red flowers. The red color of the flowers symbolizes the violence involved. In each caption, I'll include a link to the most influential website that educated me on their plight and I encourage you to check it out as well.

"Leopard in the Garden", 2018, 22"x24" oil and acrylic on canvas. {SOLD} || see poem below inspired by this piece! :)
I am the leopard in the garden
​I roam where I please
Surrounded by much
With no enemies

My elegance is power
My fierceness is grace
I have nothing to fear
I belong in this place

But do not mistake
My calm for content
I have known extremes
Wherever I went

Now that I live In a lush paradise 
I’ll slay when I must
Though peace would be nice
