“I arise in the morning torn between a desire to save the world and a desire to savor the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” —E.B. White
“My work addresses climate change, biodiversity loss, and their significant impact on humanity.
Over the last four years, I have created four lithographs at Shark’s Ink. each featuring an endangered Colorado animal. I have learned much throughout the process of selecting them. The most recent is Ferret in the Headlights (black-footed ferret), which depicts the Mustela nigripes, the black-footed ferret—arguably the most endangered mammal in the U.S.—that conservationists are attempting to save through cloning.
These works celebrate the joy and exuberance of life, emphasizing the incredible variety of existence on our planet—the only one confirmed to harbor life.”
