Blog / 2020 / Beavers Build Ponds, Not Dams
September 28, 2020
All this reminds me of artists and how we don’t make art. We create something infinitely more interesting than artistic objects: we foster human understanding.
So far, my version of the Chinese zodiac includes a rabbit, a dragon, some snakes, a horse, a goat, a monkey, some female roosters, a kind of dog, and a pig. With the year of the rodent under my belt, I still have to paint an ox for 2021 and a tiger for 2022 to complete the full twelve years of my personal zodiac!
The original beaver painting is for sale for $1800 plus shipping—see all currently available artworks. There are prints and pretty things with this image in my Redbubble shop.

Art is the love of other humans made tangible across space and time. When a person can’t get a hug from a friend, art is there to make them feel seen and understood. Please share my work with your favorite people!
Maybe this post made you think of something you want to tell me? I’d love to hear from you.
