Influenced by scientific studies and reports spotlighting the steady decline of certain bird species, my work celebrates the effort made by species who’ve, so far, beaten the odds.

The cause for concern, in most cases is a loss of habitat, pollution and the careless use of natural resources on our part.

My work attempts to take action by creating an archive of these ‘things with wings’ if, for no other reason, than to document their existence and unique beauty in such toxic and inhospitable environments.

Using the human portrait and, specifically, the eye as the visual focus, I hope to draw attention to the fact that we as humans have an opportunity to understand what the words threatened, endangered and extinct really mean and encourage taking steps to more consciously and responsibly co-exist with the wild.

All work is mixed media on paper with collage elements.
