"Red kangaroos, the biggest marsupials in the world, live only in Australia. They were originally considered endangered due to "commercial importation of kangaroos, their parts and products," according to the Federal Register species account.
Less than 10 years after being included on the Endangered Species list, these bouncers were put up for delisting, but then new data revealed that a severe drought had prevented populations from recovering. Just about a decade after that, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service deemed red kangaroo populations stable, removing these animals from the ESA."

I love this painting! It looks like her spirit animal is a kangaroo. Kangaroos are strong, fierce, loving creature. Kangaroos can jump very high, sometimes three times their own height. And I think that fact gives a great additional impact to this painting. Knowing that a person can also jump higher and reach their dreams. The color story of the painting compliments each other. I truly enjoyed this piece. Kudos to the artist and its subject. More power to you!
