Exhibiting Artists

Joie Paré

I have always felt a deep connection to wildlife and wild places. That relationship comes out in my paintings. I try to portray the calmness and serenity in the images I paint and bring the viewer into the painting and one with the animal. To feel their presence as much as feel the cool air or the hot sun of the surroundings. As humans, and our ability to make survival almost effortless with technology and evolution, I think we have strayed from our wild roots. After all, we too are mammals...

I feel it's crucial not just to document these marvelous species I paint; it's even more important to me to have a hand in saving them from extinction. Among reptiles alone, 196 species are presently critically endangered. That's why I'm a signature member of Artists for Conservation. That's why I often create artwork specifically to donate proceeds from its sale for conservation--as I recently did for the radiated tortoises I met in Madagascar. I'm grateful to use my talent to not only raise...

I believe that the best way to spread awareness is by showing it in graphic ways! I want people to look at a leaf , a grain of sand or piece of fur and find the many colors and beauty in it.

In the wild, animals are elusive, and often seen only briefly. To bring a true appreciation of their personalities to the viewer, I feel that every pose and expression must be real, without added sentimentality or idealism. I strive to give the viewer an awareness that every creature is sentient, to inspire the viewer to support the preservation of wildlife and habitat and the right of every wild-born animal to roam free.  Viewers, many of whom may not have the opportunity to see these animals...

William Ritchie

In all my works I aim for a sense of realism and expression that captures the subject matter as it was when I experienced it. I try to replicate the feeling imparted through the experience as it appealed to me, whether that be simplistic or complex. I find Nature has so much to offer and unfortunately, more often than not, these offerings go unacknowledged, taken for granted, or are simply not understood. I feel that through traditional tonal realism painting and realist art, there is...

Theresa Rodriguez

Christine Rosati Yoos

I create detailed drawings and paintings that celebrate the beauty, vulnerability, and resilience of wildlife. My work is rooted in a lifelong love of animals and shaped by extensive travel, especially throughout Africa, where I have been continually inspired by the majesty of the natural world and the urgent need to protect it. By blending realism with storytelling, I aim to create images that invite viewers into a deeper emotional connection with wildlife and encourage a greater commitment to...
