AFRICAN WILD DOG // 2020. Oil on linen, 18 x 24 inches

The lesser-known but equally beautiful African Wild Dog is a cunning, elusive and playful species that represents one of the Serengeti’s endangered natural treasures. This painting was created in the interest of increasing visibility of the species and it’s current crisis. The painting’s background pattern was inspired by a textile worn by a local participant in The Grumeti Fund’s Rural Enterprise Development Program and suggests the species’ current vulnerability as a poaching target.
