The ferns and the log came from my backyard. (I don't have water dragons in my backyard, so I combined different elements to create the painting. I do have a friendly resident backyard python - but that's another reptile story...)
I donate 10% from all sales of my artworks, to animal charities.
Aside from EFA, I'm also an exhibiting member of the Queensland Wildlife Artists Society, which promotes the study, appreciation, and conservation of wildlife through art, specifically relating to Australia's unique species. (The original Water Dragon painting was first exhibited at one of our exhibitions at Australia Zoo this year - where a percentage of art sales went to support the Wildlife Warriors Animal Hospital.)
I also foster a baby elephant, Sities, at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya - they do incredible work in rescuing orphaned elephants and rhinos, and I'm happy to support them.
At home, we've got a rescue dog, Charlie, whom we adopted from the QLD RSPCA. :)
What remarkable detail on this cute little guy!
ReplyDeleteThose elephants are so cute!!
Delightful !
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this little guy looks fierce to a tiny insect :)
THANKS so much for sharing your beautiful artwork and inspiring stories of animal advocacy.
The colours and the scales are impeccable! I hope this one generated lots of funds while on exhibit. You are quite talented!
