The #FreeHappy billboard exhibition will feature the work of: Diane Matyas, Anne Spalter, Kelli Bickman, myself, and Lisa Goldberg.

A Study in Blue and Pink is an illustration that contrasts cheerful colours with the sorrow expressed in the creature’s tears, which flow like rivers across its wrinkled skin. The piece evokes the captivity of a sentient animal and references the Central African river systems where the species is most commonly found.

Have you spotted this lovely pachyderm in the wild of NY?

Please message me here or tag me on Instagram if you happen to snap a picture of the billboard.
