New Art: Endanger Cancer, not Elephants
I created this piece, Endanger Cancer, not Elephants, because I love and am passionate about saving elephants – and because I know several breast cancer survivors. I want this to be a symbol of hope for them. On the surface, elephant poaching and cancer may seem like vastly different issues – and you’d be right to say…

But the Elephant knew she was in the presence of August – in the presence of the waning African winter. She had survived another minute – another hour – another day – another month. She’d survived another season, and…
My Birthday Wish

In particular, I’ve vehemently opposed and condemned crimes related to the slaughter of some of Africa’s most iconic species – elephants, rhinos and lions.
