In these works I am examining the impacts of humans on the environment, the natural habitat and animals. Beginning with the basic image of a map I explore the global implications of the loss of natural habitat and the ways in which humans and wildlife interact. I am also investigating indoors and outdoors while looking at a sense of place, and home. Using collage, I also incorporate acrylic paint, charcoal, image transfers and other items into these paintings.
