For the Wild-Hearted Souls

To me, Nature is God. Without it, we simply would not exist. Conserving the world’s natural spaces and the creatures that live there is paramount to the survival of humans as a species, and I have therefore dedicated my life to studying environmentalism in order to help people co-exist more successfully and sustainably with the natural world.

All natural materials I use in my creations are either sourced from roadkill, Fish and Game, secondhand sources such as fellow artists and estate sales, or are antique. In this way, I'm ensuring that no animals were needlessly killed for the sake of the artwork I produce. I fully believe that no part of any creature should go to waste if a purpose can be found for it, but I do NOT support trophy hunters or overseas fur farms by buying 'byproducts' like bones, skulls, or claws directly from them. The only exception I make for this rule is for parts from animals legally culled for population control programs approved by Fish and Wildlife.

As a photographer and wildlife enthusiast, I've been involved with many fantastic organizations such as Images4Life and Wild Tiger, as well as the Sierra Club and many smaller, local groups.
I've been published, interviewed, and even featured on Rainn Wilson (Dwight from “The Office”)'s personal networking website, SoulPancake.com.

I’ve also been blessed with the opportunity to visit many of the world’s most amazing wild places, like Komodo Island, Bali, Lombok, Malaysia, and the Cayman Islands, and have even documented entirely new species previously unknown to science.

Other interests include: Wilderness survival, primitive skills, backpacking, fishing, kayaking, boffing, airsoft, snowboarding, meandering around town, and caving.

My boyfriend ordered me flowers, and sent me a card…

This is what was written on the inside:

He also gave me some money on a Visa so that I could go get myself a nice dinner. That’ll have to wait, because I’m feeling a bit under the weather, and I’ve got company coming over to help build the fire pit in the rain tonight.

For those who don’t know, Bear is away at basic training in South Carolina. We can’t talk on the phone, and he has no access to a computer, so we’ve been communicating exclusively through snail mail for about a month.

Lots of guys at the base left their girlfriends at home. LOTS of those girls have been unable to take the stress of a long-distance relationship. Bear’s drill sergeants love to joke about it and rub it in the guys’ faces when they’re getting smoked, but my man just keeps on smiling; he knows that I’m his, and I know that he’s mine.

BEST. MAN. EVER.
