Conservation Statement
The world is a dangerous place. There has been a struggle for survival since the dawn of creation. Dwindling numbers mean there are dangers from within species as well as dangers without. In this environment, even the simplest act of existence can mean ‘sticking your neck out’ (title of donated artwork for C4C).”

Creating for Conservation
Barb is exhibiting in the Creating for Conservation Art Exhibition 2012. The pieces [pictured] are representative of her work. The pieces Barb chooses to exhibit will be available for purchase at the C4C2012 Exhibition only [no online sales]. Proceeds from C4C2012 are dedicated to Chipembele Wildlife Education Trust - Zambia. Please come along on the opening night on 2nd November or over the weekend 2nd November to 4th November to see Barb’s work and that of the other fantastic contributing Artists.
