Bluebird

Inspired by the endangered species, the Helmeted Hornbill is a unique bird hunted for horns as artifacts are more valuable than ivory in the illegal wildlife trade.

The name bluebird directly addresses the sadness associated with the unlawful purging of these creatures. The purpose of this painting is to bring awareness, acknowledgement of their beauty and their value to our planet.

In the painting, we witness a beautiful bird basking in the sun on a hot, cloudless day. Bold, radiant, and defiant, its beauty emotes, its message is clear: SCREW SPECIESISM!!!
