Fundraising for Wildlife Conservation
Over the last few years I’ve been lucky enough to work with some truly inspiring organisations that work tirelessly for wildlife conservation in various parts of the world. It’s been an honour to work with them, to raise awareness of the work they do, and also to raise money for the causes they work for.
This works by visiting the projects and trying to get to know the habitats and species they work to conserve. I then produce works of art inspired by those places which are then sold and the majority of the profits then go to the charities to help with the work they do.
The total raised so far comes to over £52,000
Please see below for more information on each project and link to their websites, so you can learn more about them and the work they do.
Secret Project 2 - Future
This new project is at such an early stage, it's not even got beyond a concept yet. It does have the potential to become the biggest project I've ever worked on though, or it may come to absolutely nothing! So, if you hear nothing more about it, you'll know it failed to get off the ground 🙂
Essex Wildlife Trust - Current
The wonderful project interpreting the old property of Ronald Blyth and John and Christine Nash. I have 1 original and 12 sketches available (see shop) although the history of these remarkable individuals is far more interesting!
David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation (DSWF) - Zambia and Zimbabwe - Current
It is absolutely fantastic to be working with DSWF again. This one is in it's extremely early stages, as we haven't been to see the projects supported by DSWF yet, so who knows what we'll see, or what the final artworks will be. Regardless of this, it's going to be a fantastic trip!
Sussex Wildlife Trust - Current
I’m thrilled to be collaborating with Sussex Wildlife Trust to document the changing face of the stunning Rye Harbour Nature Reserve throughout the year. Over the course of 2026, I’ve created 7 artworks to date (6 of which have sold) and there will be a private view/auction on the 3rd December as the final event.
DSWF - Land of the Tiger - 2025
The David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation's annual Wildlife Ball is just an incredible event, regardless of anything else! This year, however, it was also the culmination of a project involving travelling to India seeing the animals and landscape of the iconic tiger, plus the exceptional conservation work being supported by the donations given to DSWF. It all came together with the creation of a body of artworks inspired by the trip and a live auction of the largest piece of biro work I've ever completed at the Wildlife Ball. The project raised over £7,000 to continue supporting that work.
Uganda Conservation Foundation (UCF) - 2024
The Uganda Conservation Foundation held their annual ball in Kampala and sold a collection of my prints and this large original at auction. It was an extraordinary event that raised around £20,000 for wildlife conservation.
Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts - 2024
This year long project gave us a exceptional opportunity to tour our magnificent country via 53 different wildlife trust reserves across all 4 home nations and 20 different wildlife trusts. I produced 53 sketches (with 1 done at every reserve) all of which sold and 15 artworks, of which 13 sold, raising over £8,000 for The Wildlife Trusts. I can't thank DSWF, The Mall Galleries, or everyone that chose to invest in a piece of my art, or came to the show enough. I hugely appreciated it!.
DSWF - Uganda Untamed - 2023
A truly extraordinary experience that will never be forgotten. All but one of the 13 works created to raise money for the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation following a wonderful trip out to Uganda, seeing the wildlife and projects supported by DSWF, had sold by the end of the exhibition, raising over £15,000 for wildlife conservation around the globe. I can't thank DSWF, The Mall Galleries, or everyone that chose to invest in a piece of my art, or came to the show enough. I hugely appreciated it!.
