Gouache on A5 paper
"Not the pretty lady.
The Oceanic Whitetip Shark, despite occupying global pelagic tropical and subtropical waters, is listed as Critically Endangered.
Sure, they've cleaned up a few human souls that've fallen victim to shipwreck or other open water incidents.
But we kill them as bycatch, slice off their fins for soup and discard their bodies - for massive profit - and consume their flesh in numerous ways; already nearly to the extinction of the whole species.
If we could, we'd probably wear them as fashion statements too.
Here's to recognising and starting to shift our society's priorities!"

earth day action challenge submission
submission for the 2021 earth day action challenge from amazing participants hannah, gwen, and emery!
"this piece demonstrates how far away people think climate change is (first picture) vs how close it actually is (second picture). ConservACTION’s Earth Day challenge helped us to learn that if we don’t act quickly, our generation and all future generations to come will be permanently impacted, most likely negatively. Of course, the only positive changes that could come are from the steps we take towards bettering our Earth now.

this is my example creative work for the 2021 earth day action challenge. my piece was focused on the danger of human activity causing a sixth mass extinction. In 2019, the IUCN predicted that 99.9% of critically endangered species and 67% of endangered species may be lost within the next 100 years. I used transition effects between clips to show the passage of time and the movements get increasingly faster towards the end to represent the race against human activity causing a sixth mass extinction for the earth.

“I took this photo on February 25th, 2009 during a day trip in and around Cape Town in which I got a glimpse of its history and the people and wildlife that call that area of the world home. I was in Cape Town for 48 hours to attend a clinical trial meeting and am not sure when I will have a chance to go back again. This photo captures a moment alone with another living being and I would like to think of it as a moment of curiosity and mutual respect.”
