#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: 

Lesley McKenzie has been working as an artist and sculptor for well over 25 years and has always been captivated by wildlife. Lesley enjoys both painting and sculpting animal subjects and likes to interpret things in her own way, capturing the essence of the animal presence, character or spirit. She uses the raku firing technique for her clay sculptures and she loves the natural, lifelike finish that can be achieved.
