This one-of-a-kind print is part of a collection of pieces that honor our interconnected relationship to all that is alive. Our health and our wellbeing is tied to the health and well being of all humans, the land, flora and fauna. These works reflect my own personal journey to realign with nature and to work towards a world where human beings can thrive and we can live in harmony with nature.

We are in a time of climate chaos. The current extractive economy is not sustainable, it requires the exploitation of life - exploitation of humans, animals and earthly bodies like oceans and forests - for the benefit of a privileged few. We must move away from the world view of extraction towards one of partnership, as Indigenous people have been teaching us for centuries.

I'm deeply committed to show up to this work of protecting LIFE on Planet Earth as someone who grew up in a concrete jungle, a polluted community that continues to witness the harm of the fossil fuel industry.
