I create these paintings and photographs to bring to you the stories of the primates, the pressures they face and the people who help them. Sale of my work enables me to continue my own conservation efforts on behalf of the primates, including my art and volunteering in the field.
With all my art sales, I also donate a portion to support the sanctuaries, the primates and wildlife conservation.
PRIMATES ARE NOT PETS!
The subjects of my paintings and photographs are wild animals who belong with their own kind, and in their natural habitats. I had the rare privilege of knowing most of them at sanctuaries. But I traveled halfway around the world to put myself in their environment, where they live. Not the other way around. And it is only because of other humans that we have to step in for a moment. Just long enough to help them live and thrive, to be independent, healthy, happy, strong and confident. So they can live and thrive with their own kind as they were meant to.
