Animal Instincts
Animal Instincts is a collection of work meant to blur the lines between "animal world" and "human world." Through researching animal behaviors, I have found that many animals have social and emotional instincts that are similar to human social and emotional instincts. For example, rats are considered prosocial and empathetic. When presented with food and a fellow caged rat, they will first free the other and then both will share the food. It’s easy to view ourselves as wholly different than a rat, but it is very human to value sharing a meal with family and friends.
This collection of art is created using various materials, including; Sakura Pigma Micron pens, Golden fluid acrylics, walnut ink, gouache, Prismacolor markers, India ink, and text. Each piece stars and animal character or characters. Some pieces give voice to the animal using text while other stories are told in the animal interactions, displayed emotions or whimsical costume/adornments. Original work from the Animal Instincts collection is available for sale or commissions are created upon request. Please Contact Me for details!
