Supporting Wildlife Conservation
This little fundraising venture was launched in 2021 and by the end of 2024, more than $12,700 has been distributed to Wildlife Sanctuaries.
— That’s only a tiny drop in the bucket, but I have big plans!

The joy I experience in creating these small works of art is compounded, by knowing that every piece has a purpose. Sharing the beauty of our wildlife with others while also helping raise awareness and funds to support the special work of animal welfare and conservationists is a true privilege.
All of the proceeds I receive from the sales of my paintings, prints, products, and books are committed to supporting the well-being of wildlife. Most of my profits are donated to three wildlife sanctuaries, dedicated to wildlife rehabilitation and conservation, primarily focused on kangaroo care. These very special sanctuaries are in the states of New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia. The very small portion I keep is used exclusively to look after the Wildlife at Red Rabbit Farm, including any orphaned kangaroos that come into my care.

There are so many ways you can help with ‘in-kind’ contributions:
Wildlife Shelters often need people willing to run errands (looking after all of those babies is a full time job!), or volunteer or provide fundraising support.
Gift a wildlife sanctuary that doesn’t have an online presence a new logo (if they need one), volunteer to help out with their social media, spread the word through your own social media.
Know how to build a website? Fall in love with a small sanctuary online relying exclusively on Facebook for all of their communication needs and volunteer to build them a website of their own. Even better - help financially host the website for them.
Help them find government grant opportunities (there are very few out there for wildlife carers) and when you do, offer to help them write up the submission.
Manage a fundraising raffle, auction or bake sale on behalf of a small Sanctuary (they don’t have the time!).
Get involved and you too can make a difference in a lot of lives!
