Artist Statement

It was a pleasure to paint this beautiful Polynesian Ground Dove. It is a critically endangered species. It's habitat has become overpopulated by predatory cats and rats. The total estimated population is only 120. Already the species is no longer seen on several French Polynesian Islands where once observed. I pray that a solution can quickly be found before these birds are gone forever.
