I am showing graphic images of the reality of animals. I am wanting animals to have their rights too. I want people to see the pain and suffering of the settings of my work. The idea behind my work is to get attention of meat eaters and show the truth in what it is like for some of the popular animals that are eaten, which majority of the world likes to eat.<\/p><p>I just love animals so much and I would like to see them get treated better. Through my artwork I believe I can calm people down from wanting to go near animal products.<\/p><p>I am a vegan of 6 years and I do not consume any animals or dairy products. Veganism had pushed me to want to go further and have a voice for the innocent animas that are mistreated every day. With my work of art, I can change people&#8217;s minds on what they choose to consume. I want people to think about what consuming animals is really doing to the animas out there, through my artwork.<\/p><p>I chose to create my animal rights work or art with watercolor and acrylic paint because I was able to create sort of a realness and I wanted it to be recognizable on what the situation is portraying. I believe the colors I chose will help guide the viewers eyes through my work, especially the red throughout all of them.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
