Free the Songbird (Tapestry of Nature / Endangered)

Acrylic, Italian metal leaf, imported paper

Size: 34 x 42″

My lifelong passions have been the diversity of humanity and nature. My ‘Endangered body of work’ was begun fifteen years ago uniting the concepts of human diversity and the biodiversity of nature. I use Mother Earth and Mother Nature metaphorically for women since many find themselves in situations of endangerment globally. I try not to sensationalize because I want the viewer to reflect and internalize the art. Fifteen years ago there were 42,000 endangered species of wildlife and plant life, but now the number is over a million. With the Earth suffering from climate change, deforestation, overfishing, pollution, poaching, and war, we must remedy what we have created through global partnership. Within the work there is urgency but also an element of hope because we can all engage in the stewardship of nature and help others to appreciate the diversity of our own species.
