I am a wildlife artist from the Netherlands. From an early age I create art and I graduated from the academy of arts in Rotterdam. I work mostly with oil paint on canvas and also with pastel on pastelpaper. I also teach art in my studio at home several evenings a week.
My style is realistic and wildlife and landscapes/ nature are my favourite subjects. I think it’s very important to raise awareness for the delicate situation of the endangered species and their natural habitats.
I loved working on this oil painting of a wild dog and I hope I can contribute to protect wildlife this way.
African Wild Dogs have disappeared from much of their former range. Their population is currently estimated at approximately 6,600 adults in 39 subpopulations, of which only 1,400 are mature individuals. Population size is continuing to decline as a result of ongoing habitat fragmentation, conflict with human activities, and infectious disease. Given uncertainty surrounding population estimates, and the species’ tendency to population fluctuations, the largest subpopulations might well number <250 mature individuals, thereby warranting listing as Endangered under criterion C2a(i).
