I want to create celebrations of wild animals, putting them in

narratives, in compositions -- jolly, poignant, sometimes exuding pathos -- whatever happens when animals get together. Making a bird, rhinoceros, wolf, or a gorilla I believe in is my goal. The textures and dimensionality of found materials reflect my desire to capture the viewers in their space and make my animals more approachable. Pattern and decoration add extravagant, gorgeous expressions of vitality to the celebration of animals with whom

WE SHARE OUR EARTH.
