Vanishings
This series honors critically endangered animals who live or migrate along the East Coast—from Red Wolves to Right Whales. Each portrait offers a space to pause and reflect on the delicate balance these creatures inhabit: still present, yet slipping away. Through themes of memory, disappearance, and interconnection, the work invites viewers to witness their presence, feel their precarity, and recognize our shared vulnerability. Vanishings is both a quiet elegy and a call to awareness for those we risk losing, and a reminder of our intertwined fates.
Made of You, 2025
North Atlantic Right Whale
48 x 38 in
Graphite on Yupo
SOLD
Endangered due to ship strikes, entanglement in fishing gear, including buoy ropes, and noise pollution that disrupts migration and communication. 370 individuals are known to exist in 2025.
Historically hunted for their baleen, used in items like hairbrushes and corsets, these whales were exploited to shape human beauty and fashion. The girl’s baleen-bristled brush symbolizes this intimate, gendered history of extraction, and its connection to environmental violence.

Veiled by Dusk, 2025
Northern Long Eared Bat
30 x 30 in
Graphite on Yupo
Available
Severely declining due to white-nose syndrome (a fungal disease that infects them during winter hibernation) and habitat loss from logging and cave disturbance. White-nose syndrome is expected to affect 100% of the bats’ range by 2030.
A bat glides through dusk, its wings etched with fragile detail. In the clouds behind, faint human figures reach toward it—distant, almost unseen, symbolizing the quiet responsibility we carry to protect what often feels beyond our grasp.

Ancestral, 2025
Florida Grasshopper Sparrow
20 x 20 in
Graphite on Yupo
SOLD
Endangered from the fragmentation of grasslands and prairie habitat, their primary breeding grounds, and from invasive species, such as fire ants that prey on their eggs and young. There are fewer than 200 left in 2025.
Multiple sparrows emerge from a single form—echoing ancestry, memory, and the weight each life carries. Barbed wire and tall grasses anchor the image in the bird’s shrinking habitat. Even the smallest creatures hold generations within them, shaped by a landscape that is fading.

Lanes, Lines & Lives, 2025
Florida Panther
40 x 40 in
Graphite on Yupo
SOLD
Endangered due to habitat loss, road mortality, and genetic inbreeding from extreme isolation. An estimated 120-230 remain in the wild in 2025.
The road in this image cracks open the panther’s world in one direction, and twists into the sky in the other, symbolizing how highways have turned their world upside down, and into a collision course. A male panther typically requires a territory of 200 square miles, while females need 75 square miles. Roads that cut through their territories are the leading cause of panther deaths.

North Atlantic Right Whale

Endangered due to ship strikes, entanglement in fishing gear, including buoy ropes, and noise pollution that disrupts migration and communication. 370 individuals are known to exist in 2025.
This drawing of a whale and her calf, alongside a human and her daughter, takes us into the landscape/seascape of motherhood as a cross-species experience of challenge, strength, vulnerability, joy, and protectiveness.

The Currents Remember, 2025
Black Capped Petrel
15 x 15 in
Graphite on Yupo
Available
Endangered due to collisions with ships and offshore structures, as well as habitat destruction and light pollution that disorients the birds, leading to collisions with wires and buildings during breeding season. The Black-capped Petrel comes to land only to breed. Just one egg will be laid, and during this time the Petrel will feed at night, flying miles to forage at sea. An estimated 500-1000 breeding pairs remain in 2025.
Often traveling hundreds of miles in one day, the Black-capped Petrel can spend months at sea, at times flying at night and resting on the ocean surface.

I Was Here, 2025
Red Wolf
36 x 24 in
Graphite and Pastel on Yupo
SOLD
Endangered from habitat loss, hybridization with coyotes, and development. The range of the Red Wolf once extended from Texas to New York. Today they are found in eastern North Carolina. An estimated 17-19 red wolves remain in the wild in 2025.
The mirrored gaze between woman and wolf reflects their shared vulnerability at the boundary between wild and suburban spaces. Her wind-swept hair and his forest-lined body are meant to blur the lines between the myth, memory, and landscape that intertwine in survival.
