Vanishing Worlds: Reflections on a Special Evening

The Vanishing Worlds exhibition felt like a gathering of kindred spirits, and I want to thank everyone who came to share in this moment with me. The support for WWF and wildlife conservation was heartwarming and exceeded anything I could have imagined. It reminded me of why I paint—why I pour my passion onto the canvas. It’s not just about the art itself; it’s about giving a voice to the wildlife that can’t speak for itself. Each of the people who attended Vanishing Worlds helped amplify that voice.

Together, We Make a Difference

Hearing Natasha share her touching memory of the rhinos and listening to Milly from WWF speak so passionately about our planet's endangered species brought the room together in a way that went beyond art. I felt that everybody really reflected on what we can still achieve together. Yes, the challenges we face are significant, but they’re not impossible. It’s not too late to change direction! Each painting, every conversation sparked at the exhibition, adds up to something bigger than any one of us could accomplish alone.

As Helen Keller said, “Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much.”

This resonates deeply with me because I believe in the power of community—of coming together to create a small but positive difference in our world. Through your support, we’ve already raised a significant amount for WWF, and I’m incredibly grateful. It’s a reminder that we are part of something bigger, part of a collective effort to protect what we love.

The Journey Continues

For those who couldn’t make it to the exhibition or want to revisit some of the works, there are still pieces from the Vanishing Worlds collection looking for their forever homes, and WWF can be supported in many other ways. Each painting is not just a piece of art but a step toward raising awareness and fostering a deeper appreciation for the world’s most vulnerable creatures. If you’d like to see the updated digital catalogue, I’d be delighted to share it with you.

Let’s keep carrying this momentum forward. Whether through art, conversation, or simply choosing to be more conscious in our daily lives, together, we can continue to make a difference. Thank you for being part of this journey, and here’s to many more moments of connection, reflection, and hope.
