The king of the jungle could also be called the king of the food chain. African Lions play a vital role in controlling the distribution and abundance of species diversity, as well as the health of the populations by preying upon the sick and weak. They affect animals such as water buffalo, giraffes and zebra.

Sadly, however, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature estimates that the African Lion population has declined 30% in the last two decades. Human population growth and development have lead to a loss of habitat, conflict over livestock, and habitat fragmentation. It is possible that the Northern Mara region will lose its biodiversity, including Lions, within the next 20 years if the region continues to be ploughed at its current rate. The plains game in the region has declined by some 80% since the early 1990s, and the number of lions has greatly suffered as a result.

As with all organisms, saving the African Lion is not just a matter of ethics bu...

I hope these paintings will in some way inspire you to investigate these organisms further. Their wondrous forms and capabilities are often overlooked and underappreciated. Imagine the tapestry that would color your world if you could communicate using sonar (yet still be able to learn human sign language) like a dolphin, smell with the intensity of the Polar Bear, understand chemical signals like the Honey Bee, navigate up to 600 miles from memory like the Desert Elephant, or utilize the earth’s geomagnetic fields to swim 800 miles like the Green Sea Turtle. The true complexity of the communication between most organisms lies in realms we still know relatively little about. The descriptions for each painting include facts, interviews, and...
