Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "I was inspired to represent paleontologist and unsung hero Mary Anning for this project because I was intrigued by this poor, unmarried woman from the 1800s, who had little power in society, yet who worked on uncovering, by the sea cliffs near her home, some of the most massive, powerful creatures to ever grace the Earth."
