	David Shepherd - Nature Art \| Wildlife Art Wildlife Art We share this planet with every living creature and through my art I have striven to give something back to the amazing animals that helped to bring me success as an artist. This ethos of giving back is something that I, and my wildlife foundation, promote through our Art for Conservation programm which includes our annual Wildlife Artist of the Year competition. Helping to protect the beautiful flora and fauna of this planet through art has given me a lifetime of pleasure as an artist and as a conservationist. David passed away last year and will be missed although his work carries on Learn more about David Shepherd...

	Naomi Siegmann - Nature Art \| Wildlife Art sculpture relating to nature Many artists express their concern for the planet through their art work. I am no exception. My concern for the future is due to our disregard for our planet which will outlast us and will prosper very well without humans. However, humanity is at risk due to global warming, and there is really very little we can do to reverse this trend. We can, however, apppeal individually to people through our artwork, encourage them to become more aware of their surroundings, and teach them to respect all the elements of our 'home' A good part of my work incorporates recycling. Our throw-away culture produces hundreds of tons of garbage, much of it reaching our rivers and oceans, killing birds and other marine-life. Even the innocuous party balloon can end up in the ocean and cause some creature's death. And yet, there IS something we can each do to mitigate this problem; replant our forests, recycle our waste, and evolve our thinking and our lives to better care for and sustain what is left of the environment that spawned us. We can all do something to mitigate this problem by replanting our forests, recycle our waste and adjust our thinking and our lives to sustain what is left of the environment that spawned us.
