Wild Connections

This series explores the bonds between animals – mothers and young, pairs, families. The relationships that mirror our own in ways that stop you mid-breath.

When I draw a mother elephant curling her trunk around her calf, I’m not drawing an elephant. I’m drawing every protective love I’ve ever witnessed. Charcoal lets me do that – it strips away color, leaves only form and feeling.

These are the pieces I draw when I want to believe the world is still tender.
