Conservation Statement

“As a keen scuba diver, I have come to understand what is so unique and spectacular about our coastal wildlife, but diving has also made me vividly aware of how much we pollute the oceans. I hope my artwork will draw attention to the vital importance of preserving our oceans.”

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).”

[You can see more of Noel's work on his website is here]

Conservation Statement

“I am a bit of a sucker for taking in unwanted chooks, and have been known to slow down to let a sleepy lizard  cross the road or ever catch Huntsman Spiders in a glass and a piece of cardboard and let it go on a nice appropriate tree in the garden. I know they aren't on the endangered species list, but it is my small contribution to creatures that need help.

On the bigger stage, I absolutely admire everyone who devotes their lives to saving endangered species, and am proud to be associated with the guys at Creating for Conservation Exhibition.”
