Artist Statement When in high-school, I wanted to be a wildlife photographer. I took courses in photography and art, but after finding out about tigers and how endangered they are, I decided to dedicate my life to saving them. However, I still am involved in photography as a hobby. It is through my photography I wish to inform people about the world's most endangered animals and inspire people to help.
I've posted my photos here because I recently had the opportunity to win a contest and fulfill a dream to visit the Australia Zoo. Unfortunately, I didn’t win; however, I did win an $800 travel voucher which could be used in Australia. The problem is that I have to get to Australia to use it or it will expire! Since I couldn't get a job to support myself last summer, it makes things difficult.
I have decided to try and raise some money to help me get there. So, if you'd like to support me, I'd really appreciate it.
