"By joining hands and forces as a united voice we could indeed stop the slaughter and put an end to wildlife crime. As an artist I strive to use my images as a conduit to raising awareness, by encouraging people to engage in conversation drawing attention to the fragility of our planet. Animals that are of particular interest to me are the rhino, elephant, painted dog, lion, pangolin and the primates. All of these animals are facing imminent extinctinction due to habitat loss and increasing wildlife crime.  "In motivating people to love the natural world, an ounce of hope is worth a ton of despair" ~ George Monbiot "
