Elephants and Rhinos

ELEPHANTS AND RHINOS

I care about all animals and the environment especially animals that are being eradicated by the ignorance or greed of man.  I like to tell a story with my sculpture, a story that speaks for the animals that have no voice.

Black Rhinos and Elephants are endangered for ivory, aphrodisiac and dagger handles.  Governments make excuses that there is no room for these wonderful and intelligent beasts and allow them to be slaughtered for their Ivory for China, dagger handles for the Saudis and trophies for the "American sportsman".  My greatest desire is to please the connoisseurs of art while touching the hart of those that are hardened to the kill or indifferent, hopeful they will realize that soon these magnificent symbols of freedom will only live in zoos.
