This original acrylic painting titled "Protecting Isabella", is inspired by my awareness of the current endangered status of the giraffe; a peaceful, iconic, wonderfully strange and beautiful animal. It's size is 18" x 24" and it's done on heavy weight watercolour paper. The colour palette is composed of burnt and raw sienna, ultramarine blue, two yellows, crimson, white and red, all paints are non-toxic as I continue to improve the eco-friendly practices in my studio. The stripes behind the giraffe are in yellow, white and pearlescent pink which would sweetly complement a children's room decor and be a source of education. I chose those colours to reflect the vulnerability of the giraffe's existence, we think them to be strong and wild, yet, because of human encroachment which equates with loss of habitat and poaching/trophy hunting, they have become very vulnerable indeed. If we don't protect our wild spaces and wild life, we will lose them forever. Some of the proceeds of the sale of this artwork will go to the Humane Society International and the African Wildlife Foundation which works to protect the West African Giraffe by utilizing guides to monitor them (guides use motorbikes to find and follow giraffes. Using Global Positioning System (GPS) units and cameras, the guides identify and follow a giraffe daily, noting its coordinates and behavior at five-minute intervals ), reforestation of the trees that they feed from (giraffes are notoriously picky eaters), community conservation practices and much more. Thank you for your interest in "Protecting Isabella", and if you have any questi

Rather than empowering what kills our motivation and spirit in the world, I rebel against that by focusing on creating nature-inspired positive, uplifting and vibrant original fine art in accessible and affordable small to large formats, limiting and/or eliminating ecologically harmful materials and methods in the process. Having established a firm foundation in realism, I have grown into abstract expressionism to capture the evocation of what I see and feel when in nature. I find acrylics to be a great medium to convey the texture, energy, immediacy and spontaneity of the moods that are invoked by the natural world; be it a gloomy eve or a radiant summer day, quiet in the air or the rushing of waves. Oils also have their place in capturing evocative and luminescent scenes and subjects. Watercolours, coloured pencils, charcoal, oil pastel and so on, lend themselves to a specific moment or expression. These mediums help me to describe that moment that I am capturing or trying to express in a tangible, physical, emotional evocative form.
