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.

If you are a gallery interested in displaying the originals,  please contact me.
