Description:

"The Greatest of Wanderers" was inspired by the efforts of the Sheldrick Trust in Nairobi National Park, Kenya as they strive to create a world that believes all elephants deserve to roam wild and free, safe from harm.

I first became aware of the fragile nature of our planet as an elementary school student at Linda Vista Elementary School in Mission Viejo, California. For Christmas one year, I asked my parents for the book “Wildlife in Danger” published by the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature).

They are still an important organization providing information, plans, and hope for our endangered earth. Worried about the environment as a kid, I drew pictures of animals constantly.
Now I have created a series of paintings that shed light on climate change, the beauty of the natural world, and our place with other species.
