The Endangered Species Print Suite is a culmination of my printmaking work during the Spring 2014 semester at California University of Pennsylvania. I created this series in order to bring awareness to endangered species that still exist today. It serves as a reminder and, hopefully, inspiration to help out these species while we still can.

For the exhibition that these prints were displayed in, I wanted to create something for the audience to take with them to remind them of what they had seen and felt while viewing these prints. I created a small pamphlet that gave a little information on each species displayed, as well as advice on how to help participate in the conservation of these beautiful animals.
