"Through bold stylized animals I create whimsical stories to evoke compassion for the world's creatures and ourselves."

Neecy developed and created the brand trademark titled, ZombieZoo® including the design, manufacturing and release of a plush toy line and books, which has attracted international attention.
I primarily use acrylic paint on many different surfaces. In my underpainting I start with a thick layer of gesso. I can build rich color layer by layer, allowing the eye to see down through the layers to create a luminous and rich painting.
From a young child, I have had a connection with animals. My love for animals never waned and to this day they continue to be my inspiration. I have combined my love of animals and the environment with the art I create.
