: Endangered CloudWalker, Limited Edition of 20, $1015 each. As an artist, I am bewildered by the design of nature that shows what we would call armor on such a vulnerable animal. A bizarre irony that it’s appearance recalls medieval knights, but that even its horns are “ toenails “. I adore these wonderful creatures and I plan on doing a series of intaglio prints protesting their endangerment. This print was created at Crown Point Press and the edition of 20 was printed by master printers C. Sennish and E. York on Somerset paper. In addition to the 20 prints, there are 5 AP, 2 PP and 1 TP. The image is 18”x 25”. Etching, softground, aquatint with spit bite on copper. Certificate of Authenticity provided. The print is signed, titled, and numbered

: Endangered With Armor, Limited Edition of 20, $1015 each. Ongoing theme of expressing my concern about the endangerment of rhinos. Although most of my current work is a colorist abstract interpretation of the Aurora Borealis, I have visited the issue of rhino poaching many times in the past, even as street art in Paris. I believe the power of intaglio printing is the best médium to convey this concern because of its contrast and linear power. On a personal note, I do love to draw, and I have had an uncanny ability to represent my ideas through draftsmanship since I was a child.
