Welcome to my latest project. In conjunction with fellow Untamed Artist Patrick Hedges I am currently working on a series of works which will be used to raise money for the conservation of our closest relatives: the chimpanzees. These works will be on show at Monarto Zoo, South Australia this October to coincide with the opening of their chimpanzee habitat, the largest in the country.
Over the next few months I'll be sharing information with you on the plight of these fascinating creatures along with a body of work which I hope will move you. We are currently liasing with Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Sierra Leone along with Monarto Zoo in South Australia to bring together something very special.
We're also featured on the Tacugama blog. Click here to read more.
Please enjoy these works and also take a look at the Tacugama website. For as little as $20 USD a month you can make a difference to the lives of these wonderful creatures!
