Buy Art - Support Conservation.

Artwork capturing the unique behaviours of animals and the sentimental moments in their lives.

Collaboration with Wildlife Preservation Canada

One month. 206 hours of painting.

15 incredible species at risk.

In this collection, 15% of all original paintings and 50% of profits on prints will be donated to Wildlife Preservation Canada. WPC saves critically endangered species whose numbers in the wild are so low that hands-on action is the last defence to save them from extinction. WPC is the only organization in Canada to provide this critical need for wildlife in recovery efforts across the country, from the single population of endangered frogs in BC to the disappearing pollinators across Ontario.
