Staying Wild with Jane Goodall: An Artist's Journey to Gombe
“Magical” a word Dr. Jane Goodall used to describe our next destination as I sat with her around a bonfire under Tanzanian skies. Jane describes the long hours she spent with chimpanzees in the forest of Gombe and how it shaped her understanding of our place in nature. Ultimately, the discoveries she made from 15 years living in Gombe propelled her to leave this place she loves to spread a message of urgency about the state of our planet and hope for its future. I couldn’t wait to hike the forests of Gombe.

This piece represents the highly socialized bonds between members of the pack. Dr. Rasmussen and Becci presented it to the delighted high bidders who drove the long distance from Idaho to western Washington to attend the event. Becci donated 100% of the money to support the work of Painted Dog Research Trust in Zimbabwe.
