By memorializing the energy, diversity and beauty of birds and butterflies in flight, cats, turtles and fish, Sally Kauffman honors their place in our ecosystem while drawing attention to their plight. She recognizes that some viewers may simply enjoy the beauty of the paintings and animals represented. There may be others that do not notice the plastic bags and ropes entangling the turtles that are painted to represent just one of the ways that humankind’s actions have impacted the endangered animals. Finally, others may enjoy the paintings and decide to dive deeper to discover that these extraordinary creatures are threatened or already extinct.

Kauffman’s paintings remind us that art has the power to raise awareness and create change.
