This drawing of an African leopard is part of my African Big Five collection and was created to support wildlife conservation. Leopards are among the most elusive and adaptable of the big cats, perfectly designed for life in the shadows of Africa's forests, savannas and mountains.
But despite their resilience, their future is far from secure. Leopards are currently listed as vulnerable, and their populations have declined by more than 30% over the past few decades as a result of habitat loss and poaching.

This piece took me nearly three years of intermittent work to complete. In between commissions and other work, this portrait slowly started to take shape. Capturing her powerful and piercing look was the most important. She's a reminder of what still exists in the wild, and what we must continue to protect.

A portion of the proceeds from this artwork will go towards supporting conservation efforts to help protect the African leopard and the habitats they depend on.
