An Exhibition and Sale of Wildlife Art
Online auction of donated pieces to raise money for Wildlife through Explorers against Extinction.
The idea was for each artist or celebrity to spend 26 minutes creating a sketch or piece of art to be donated to the cause - 26 minutes being significant because that is how often an elephant is killed!
I chose to donate a watercolour painting of a Hawksbill Turtle, completed in about 45 minutes.
Proceeds from the sale will help to fund work like this:
- There are less than 500 Sumatran Tigers left in the World. Our work will better equip the rangers who patrol the two National Parks where most of them live, removing snares and preventing illegal land clearance.
The Exhibition includes some amazing pieces and amusing celebrity efforts. Do check the dates and schedule of cities on the poster, including 2 venues in London and 2 in New York or go online to
