Woven throughout my artwork over the past ten or more years has been dichotomy in regard to the destructive and creative forces of animal welfare and environmental stewardship. The Covid-19 pandemic highlighted our precarious relationship with wild and domesticated animals.
The pandemic also gave me more time to make art. For me, as for many others, it has been an extended time of gratefulness, frustration, curiosity and silent terror. I have become more mindful of my day-to-day activities and relationships. When I finally shut down Zoom, and my phone, nature is waiting.
