In Toucan Paradise I wanted to capture the beauty of the toucans in an abstract rainforest as if frozen in time like a photograph. The patterns surrounding the toucans represent the diverse ecosystem in these tropical and subtropical rainforest regions. Toucans are native to South America, Central America, and Mexico. These beautiful and colorful birds are endangered because they are being captured and sold as exotic pets, and are losing their habitats to deforestation.
