The Northern White Rhino is facing eminent extinction with just two females, Fatu and Najin left. These two sister live at the Ol Pejeta Nature Conservatory  in Northern Kenya where they are the last light of their species. In this painting I have combined realistic acrylics with gold foiling to be serve as a reminder of the senseless tragedy caused by poaching and greed. The loss of an irreplaceable species, a masterpiece of God's creativity.
