Global Conservation Force Charity Gala

One of the reasons why I love this industry so much is because it is so unpredictable. You never know who reaches out to you, or whom you meet that will influence the path of your career.

In July of this year, a team member of the @globalconservationforce found my Instagram profile and asked me if I'd be interested in supporting their wildlife foundation.

3 months later and I just returned from my amazing trip to California to do exactly that. I couldn't be more grateful!

It was an absolute honor to donate two of my Pink Safari limited edition pieces and attend the 3rd annual Global Conservation Force Wildlife Gala in Temecula, California. I got to share this wonderful evening with the Global Conservation Force team, wildlife lovers and conservation supporters.

My Pink Elephant and Pink Rhino were auctioned at the event and each found a new home with San Diego residents as their new owners (4th+5th picture). Thank you to the generous art buyers for their support of this noble cause. 100% of the sales proceeds are donated to wildlife projects helping the conservation of elephants, rhinos, giraffes and pangolins.

A special thank you to Global Conservation Force CEO and founder Mike Veale who arranged my trip to California from flight over lodging to transportation. I feel so special having been able to meet him and his team personally and be a part of such an incredible event. I had an amazing time and will be sure to return to the West Coast to see more of it.

But the biggest thank you goes to ALL OF YOU here who are supporting me by following my art journey. Without you I wouldn't be where I am today, and without you the mentioned team member of @globalconservationforce would've probably not found me on Instagram. I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for making my work visible on a global scale and for giving my dream a platform.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💗.
