16" x 20" Acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas Original sold Prints available through store I met Wilbur when the trailer he was being taken to slaughter in crashed, spilling pigs onto a busy highway.

He taught me that pigs are just as unique and individual as dogs are.

12" x 16" Acrylic on canvas Original sold, prints available thru store While scouring the web for art inspiration I came across Rosie the Riveter. I immediately noticed the gap created by her iconic raised arm & fist & figured I had a good idea how to fill it! The famous poster, which became the quintessential image of the power of women, unfortunately carried a pro-war message which needed tweaking. Add a piglet and some bolt-cutters and you've got a subverted propaganda piece of pure love!
Original sold Prints avail through store Floyd was being raised for meat on an organic farm in BC when we found him, starving on his back, unable to right himself. It was the filthiest farm I've ever been to - dead, decaying birds were everywhere. Although we'd gone with the intention of conducting a full investigation, we saw Floyd, dropped everything, scooped him up and ran like hell. We don't regret it. Floyd's spirit saw him through and he recovered fully. He now lives at SAINTS Rescue.
