Introducing “KING SLOTH”, the latest addition to my Animal Kingdom series.
Holding a sloth is on my bucket list! I once paid $100 just to touch one, which I regret, but my love for these creatures runs deep. I relate to sloths, especially due to my autoimmune issues, as they symbolize a slow, intentional life and the importance of patience and energy conservation. With modern interpretations transforming their negative connotations into positive symbols, I resonate with their message of managing stress and reducing burnout. Plus, I’ve heard they love snacking on hibiscus flowers like candy—definitely relatable!
Here are a few key sloth charactericstics to inspire appreciation:
Mindfulness and Slow Living
Sloths remind us to slow down, adopt a “less is more” approach, and savor life.
Patience and Thoughtful Action
Their deliberate movements symbolize the value of patience and consideration.
Conservation of Energy
Sloths teach us to focus our energy on what truly matters and to prioritize rest.
Embracing Solitude
As solitary creatures, sloths symbolize the comfort of introspection.
My Animal Kingdom series features detailed pencil illustrations on wood panels with acrylic glazing. The chaotic, textured backgrounds represent their daily fight for survival. Each piece is ready to hang with black sides and my signature in gold on the right side. Oh! Fun fact – I did this crown with 3 prongs to represent that it’s a three toed sloth. Enjoy!

In 2014, I had been going to art conventions for years, and I noticed a consistent puzzle. Artists were all talking about the struggle to sell, and everyone else was talking about the struggle to buy. Artists wanted to sell more work and experiment more outside their comfort zone. And the people buying wanted to buy more than they did. But the artists had to be consistent at these shows, and their art was often (deservedly) out of a starting collector’s price range.
I created Every Day Original to solve this puzzle. And it’s become much more.
At “EDO,” as it was soon called, we created a platform for artists to experiment with small work and for everyone to be able to start their art collection. Over the years, the success of EDO has allowed us to showcase new voices and voices that might otherwise not be “big” enough. Because we feature new work every single day, everyone has an opportunity to start their collection and support this vision.
By joining our mailing list, you join a community of people who believe that art isn’t just a commodity. It’s a passion and way of life that deserves to be seen and celebrated every day.
