Artist Statement:

All of the animals in my 'Underfoot' series are threatened or endangered species I’ve imagined working honorable yet under-appreciated (and underpaid) jobs commonly found throughout Tennessee. With so much development happening here, I feel it’s important to call attention to the plight of both the unseen and the overlooked before it's too late.

See Wikipedia links below the gallery for more information about indiviual species.
