' As a wildlife artist, I feel it is our duty to help raise awareness and to do what we can to help with conservation as I couldn't and don't want to live without animals '
I support the charities above in various ways from a monthly donation through memberships or sponsorships, to donating a percentage of sales, donating prints for raffles, donating originals and prints for auctions with 100% of the funds raised going to the individual charity.
I have also created my own fundraisers, like skydiving for the orang-utans with 100% of the money raised going to the charity and I pay for the skydive myself.
I use my art wherever possible to raise awareness of the importance of wildlife preservation, conservation issues and the importance of supporting invaluable projects and dedication undertaken by charities. Through the various species I draw, I am able to raise awareness of the various endangered species including the lesser-known wild cats which I love to draw.
Art gets people talking!
Each year I donate artwork to their awesome charity, to which I have been a huge supporter for many years, helping to save endangered species, and heart breaking to say that African lions are now also an endangered species; due to loss of prey species, loss of habitat, trophy hunting and human encroachment have all caused their numbers to dramatically decline.
I hope this helps raise vital funds for wildlife conservation, wildlife needs our help more than ever now.
All items sold through the Wildlife Ball auction will support DSWF's vital conservation work to fight wildlife crime and protect endangered species across Africa and Asia.
They have ground based conservation partners that are both dedicated professional organisations with a deep understanding of the landscapes in which they operate.
