In 1975, the artist combined her two most fervent interests: printmaking and ecology. In this series she chose eight animals that were threatened with extinction. They were the: Parnassus Apollo Butterfly, Snow Leopard, Devil’s Hole Pup-fish, Black-Footed Ferret, Rocky Mountain Goat, Southern Bald Eagle, Blue Whale and Aye-Aye, (a Lemur native to Madagascar). In the intervening years none of the animals she selected has become extinct, yet. However, all remain endangered.
