"Embrace" - Chimpanzee painting

This piece was awarded the Artist of the Year 100 award in the Sketch For Survival 2024 competition. The artwork was exhibited in the Sketch For Survival 2024 exhibitions in London and Edinburgh. The drawing was auctioned to raise funds for conservation charity Explorers Against Extinction with 100% of the sale price being donated to them. Although the original is now sold limited edition prints are still available.

Sketch for Survival is a fantastic initiative that brings together wildlife artists from across the globe to champion endangered species and ecosystems through art. Each year the event raises money for frontline conservation projects across the world. I couldn't be more thrilled to have been able to contribute towards the fantastic work they do.
