#SKETCHFORWILDLIFE:  

Each year, the talented artists who take part in DSWF Wildlife Artist of the Year are invited to participate in #SketchForWildlife.   

By painting or drawing a small image on a postcard it gives visitors to the online exhibition a chance to own a totally unique piece of work, by a highly sought after collection of artists.   

The postcards have always been extremely popular and we hope you will support this initiative which allows more people to own a unique piece of original art, albeit on a slightly smaller scale. The subject and medium of the postcard was entirely up to the artist, with the subject matter being their own celebration of the natural world.    

100% of the proceeds from this sale will support the charitable work of David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation (DSWF) and our ground-based conservation partners across Africa and Asia.  

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY: 

Mona Angeltun is a self-taught artist from Norway. Her art reflects her love for animals and nature. Her realistic style is accompanied by the creative use of colours. Both the sharp details and the soft expression are achieved using different types of pastel. Through her art style she conveys the happiness and excitement that real-life encounters with animals and nature provide. The scenery enhances the heart and soul of the animal being portrayed. She mainly uses reference photos taken by herself or her husband. By doing this she can compose scenes more in line with her artistic vision.
