CAUSE: International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW)

ARTIST STATEMENT: This work represents an issue that has long been at the center of my longing for the world. The needless killing of wild animals to harvest their organs for supposed cures for "aging" and to enhance sexual prowess is a tragedy for the entire world. I am heartened that there are organizations like the International Fund for Animal Welfare that can, when supported have a significant effect on limiting the mistreatment and poaching of animals in the wild...in areas and in ways I would never be able to do. This is for the benefit of all beings on the planet, and I heartily support that!
