Wildlife Art for Conservation

‘African Myth’ ~ Watercolour & Gouache 

Carol lives and works at the Dovecot Studio, in Edinburgh and has been a wildlife artist for more than 35 years, spending time in  Africa studying her subject in its natural habitat and learning as much as possible about the wildlife from local guides, animal experts and conservationists.

Carol has been a committed conservationist since she became a wildlife artist. She is passionate about animals and is now giving 100% of her art sales to support conservation work, particularly to help endangered wildlife.

 All of her artwork is inspired from source material, done in situ on field trips to a number of different African countries.

Carol is truly humbled to be one of the wildlife artists supporting Born Free

  • Born Free work to conserve and protect lions, their natural habitat, and to end any activities that exploit and negatively impact lions whether living in captivity or in the wild

Born Free helps African lion conservation, as research shows over the last 21 years 3/4 population is in decline. Currently classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN Red List assessment. Principle causes for decline are indiscriminate retaliatory killing of lions in defence of human life and livestock, habitat loss and prey base depletion.
