Conservation
“Art that creates awareness.”
Ensuring that animals have a future is part of my work’s mission.
Below are a few of the conservation projects that I have had the honor of being involved with.
A project in partnership with the Kea Conservation Trust to raise awareness and funds to help protect this endangered parrot. People are encouraged to share their colorings so others can learn about the Kea's plight. A percentage of the proceeds will be donated directly to the Trust.
Elephant Artwork for the World Wildlife Fund's Ivory Consumption Report. Showcased in Washington DC at WWF’s workshop on ivory demand reduction, in partnership with National Geographic. Thanks to Renee Lertzman, PhD of the Center for Sustainable Energy (CSE) for requesting this collaboration.
The Darien Project. Helping to save the Wild Jaguars of Panama. Darien is a rescued jaguar from the illegal animal trade in Panama and is living in Summit Botanical Gardens while being rehabilitated. I created this drawing of Darien for Panama Wildlife Conservation's Logo. Thanks to Dr Luis Urena, a Panamanian Biologist who took the photographs that inspired this drawing.

Saving the Harlequin Toad Project. Drawing created to raise awareness and funding to save this endangered species. Thanks to the Panama Wildlife Conservation Society, The University of Manchester, and everyone in Panama who is dedicating their time, effort and hard work to make a difference for the rainforest and its incredibly important Inhabitants.

Donations from the proceeds of my digital coloring books. Every dollar toward saving animals is a dollar extremely well spent! Keep coloring to help save animals, and keep having fun doing it. Click the image to join my Facebook coloring group and become part of a community that cares!
