We live in a world where species are going extinct due factors that can all be traced back to human activity. This series of work is focused on Endangered Species that are on the Critically Endangered list. As an artist, I want to bring these animals to life for people. Using various materials and a more expressive, graphic style I hope to show these animals in a different way, a more accessible, marketable way. I hope that the stories behind the animals and their lives become part of the conversation along with possible solutions to the problem of extinction.

Carving stone is a challenging and often times frustrating process but when it comes out right it is one of the most rewarding materials to work with. When I work with stone I spend time with the raw stone, studying the color, form and size and sometimes laminating multiple small pieces together before I begin to develop an idea for the final sculpture. Often I start with a basic idea that is developed as I get deeper into the carving. This allows for flexibility and a conversation between the material and myself as I create the final form.
