I studied art over 35 years ago but only returned to drawing and painting 7 years ago after encouragement from my family. My confidence has grown after entering the DSWF Wildlife Artist of the Year competition. I have been selected as a finalist for seven years. My work is inspired by my passion for nature conservation and wildlife. My seemingly random scribbles build up a complex texture to give the desired effect. What appears abstract close up, is revealed in full when you step back and view as a whole. My experiments using different mediums from the traditional ink and pen and ink wash to the more unusual of using coffee as a wash to create different tones and marks.
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).
