Once Upon a Time | Sculpture by Don Alemany | Artists for Conservation 2022

Don Alemany CA

The wildfowl sculptures I create is to showcase the beauty I see in nature. In doing so I hope other will stop and take notice of nature even if they are in their back yard. It sad to see the decrease in song birds and bees around my little part of the world. Enjoy what we have and please help with conservation.

Riparian Riches: Wood Ducks | Wallhanging by Walt Anderson | Artists for Conservation 2022

Walt Anderson US

My goal as an artist is to interpret an organism with love, respect, and fidelity to essence. As a naturalist and wildlife biologist, I want my work to inspire and motivate people to fully appreciate the natural world and work to protect it. Marvel at the beauty of an animal well portrayed, and you can for a moment escape the confusion of modern society and connect with something much bigger and grander.

On a Clear Day | Wallhanging by Del-Bourree Bach | Artists for Conservation 2022

Del-Bourree Bach US

One of the best ways we artists have of giving back to the world that inspires us is to donate our artwork and our time. I hope that my paintings have and will continue to raise awareness of the important conservation work we all need to do.

The Pollinator | Wallhanging by Patricia Banks | Artists for Conservation 2022

Patricia Banks CA

"I am intrigued by the fleeting balance between strength and fragility in nature. Drawing inspiration from the natural environment I bear witness to the beauty, interdependence, and sanctity of all creation. I seek to share this glory with viewers so that they may also pause and reflect, and feel as if they are here, in the moment.”

Still Water | Wallhanging by Suzanne Barrett Justis | Artists for Conservation 2022

Suzanne Barrett Justis US

The artist Gustave Courbet once said, "the beautiful is in nature and it is encountered under most diverse forms of reality. Once it is found, it belongs to art, or rather to the artist who discovers it." I have always been enraptured by the natural world and strive to recreate what moves and excites me with my art.  I have always been captivated by animals and the many " diverse forms of reality" nature holds. As a kid, I was always drawing something, be it the maple tree in the backyard, our...

Rooted and Grounded | Wallhanging by Michaelann Bellerjeau | Artists for Conservation 2022

Michaelann Bellerjeau US

Unlike so many investments we make, visual art can freeze in time what may otherwise pass us by, and surrounding oneself with art can provide a much needed refuge, a gently pressed break from the rush of life. A glance at a painting of an expansive sunset, a portrait of an innocent child, an animal captured in it's natural habitat or a fascinating abstract can let us connect to our feelings from that moment in time, providing depth, clarity, excitement or perspective.  I believe a scene of...

Elegant Strollers  | Wallhanging by Alejandro Bertolo | Artists for Conservation 2022

Alejandro Bertolo CA

 In all its forms and styles, the great challenge in Japanese painting consists in rendering the essence of the chosen subject, be it an animal, a tree or a flower. The result is a more intimate and subjective form of art.

Sheltered | Wallhanging by Lucrezia Beerli-Bieler | Artists for Conservation 2022

Lucrezia Bieler US

I am using single sheets of black paper and scissors to make complex cut images.  To me the material and the production process reflects the delicacy and also the fragility of nature. All things are interconnected and interwoven and have an impact on each other. My work discusses the interactions in nature: the eternal flow of life.

Silverback | Wallhanging by Cindy Billingsley | Artists for Conservation 2022

Cindy Billingsley US

Animals have a right to a place in the world. We as human make up just a small part of the world. Everything is connected and once different species of animals disappear then more and more will follow. Animals do not have a voice, and as an artist I wanted to try and give them a voice through my art. Artists through centuries have been the observers in a society. Art can make a difference, get people thinking, seeing and hopefully changing ways so that animals can keep and improve their...

"Serendipitous" | Sculpture by Lynn Branson | Artists for Conservation 2022

Lynn Branson CA

"I take great pride that art is created from my love affair with wood. The wild forces of nature produce my material. I have learned not to judge a piece of wood by its exterior appearance, for beneath the surface I can take it anywhere I want just by using my imagination. What I try to achieve with my sculptures is to touch the innermost of human emotions. I am most respectful and caring towards our environment."

Contemporary artists are now much like the ancient cave painters. We are documenting the passing of species at the hand of mankind. While photographers capture the moment in time, painters capture the soul.

Blue and Gold | Wallhanging by Wayne Chunat | Artists for Conservation 2022

Wayne Chunat US

My media varies from acrylics and watercolors to oils and intaglio prints. My style varies from realistic to loose and airy impressionism depending on what best portrays the subject and its environment. My inspiration is first-hand observation in the environment, then study specimens, and finally reference photos. My goal is to capture the essence of the animal's movement, habits and cycle of life.

RoseMarie Condon CA

The Canadian wilderness has always been a major inspiration for my paintings, drawings and photography. Plein air painting, sketching in watercolour, acrylic or oils I have trekked, camped and rafted throughout Canada. Life drawing is a discipline I have kept through a half century of creating art both illustrative and fine art. I share my love of drawing, painting and sculpting with children and tirelessly support the arts in the City of Kawartha Lakes where my studio sits amidst farms and...

I'm a portrait artist, working to capture the individual and find his or her story.  By setting ourselves so far apart from other animals, we lose our connection to them and the rest of the planet in the process.

Fishing | Wallhanging by Lynden Cowan | Artists for Conservation 2022

Lynden Cowan CA

As a self- taught artist, I prefer oil paint on canvas and for the most part triple zero brushes for working on fine detail. Paintings are meticulously rendered from multiple layers of thinly applied paint, and small strokes pick up the preferred natural light. Wild landscape and highly detailed scenes are my subject of choice and I strive to include the viewer in my visual journey and interpretations of the naturel world and human nature.

King of the Serengeti | Wallhanging by Nick Day | Artists for Conservation 2022

Nick Day GB

  I believe the human mammal has found it increasingly more difficult to move away from our fast evolving & more technological ‘world’, where the environment is badly damaged in our thirst for knowledge, and is neglected to the point of justification & denial. What I strive to do in my portrayal of Nature, is to bring the onlooker into the subject's world using basic human instincts such as pity, without being sentimental, whilst at the same time illustrating a little of the fascinating...

Robert Deschenes CA

Self-taught painter in animal art, I perform my work either in watercolor or acrylic, everything depends on my mood or the subject.  Art of hyperrealism technique, it requires precision in the smallest details in order to represent the subject as faithfully as possible, such as : anatomy, living environments and behaviors.  An important part of the achievement goes through research on the subject: in books, internet, observations in nature and taking photos in order to respect all aspects.  The...

Passage | Wallhanging by Karel Doruyter | Artists for Conservation 2022

Karel Doruyter CA

Through my travels I have always been drawn to isolated places. In the past these were physical geographical parts of the world I have experienced. Now I find myself going inward, areas of spiritual and emotional isolation that I find disturbing and facinating. I find recording the former on board or canvas much easier than the latter, but that adds to the attraction.

Fair Warning | Sculpture by Rob Dreyer | Artists for Conservation 2022

Rob Dreyer US

Every day it seems, we turn on our media and see pain and strife and ugliness. But that is not the world which we were given. The world we were given is actually extraordinarily ordered and beautiful. My job as an artist is to continually help illuminate that. Every painting I do is defined by that overarching objective. I consider my work to be nothing more than a simple depiction and celebration of the miracles that surround us every day.

The Twilight Hour | Wallhanging by Michael Dumas | Artists for Conservation 2022

Michael Dumas CA

The underlying purpose of creating has to do with why certain objects inspire attention in the first place, or how they might be used to express a concept. The greater connection between object and idea, the more insightful the work will be, the more truth it will reveal, and not just about the thing painted but about the artist as well. It is all about thinking and feeling.

Mô | Wallhanging by Chantal Dupuis | Artists for Conservation 2022

Chantal Dupuis CA

I was always inspired by nature and its wonderful inhabitants.  Every critter has a personality that comes out so loud and clear at times.   I think collectors are most interested in my art because they can recognize the familiar or be transported into the unknown but what each and everyone comes out with is a journey into a scene with movement, emotions and peace.
