Art For Conservation
I support animal conservation with my art through Explorers Against Extinction who run Sketch for Survival. This is an Annual art competition where the top 100 selected finalists have their paintings auctioned online with all proceeds going to the charity. I have been chosen twice for the top 100.
I have also supported The David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation with an artwork that was selected as a finalist and sold with 50% of the sale going to their conservation initiative.
