Andy Warhol said, "They always say time change's things, but you actually have to change them yourself." That is what my work is all about; change. What I want to change is how we look and care for nature and wildlife. Life is art and what we focus on is what we see. I am an artist who specializes in animal and landscape art, an advocate for conservation, author and producer who writes, lectures and films, wild and domestic animals. As a child growing up in the inner city, I saw the need to reconnect with nature. That how I use my work as an instrument for conservation. I want to share my love of nature so we together can keep are wildlife in the wild and off the endangered species list. JoAnne Helfert Sullam
