Please take a moment to check out this Virtual Exhibition, which Shawna Lampi-Legaree is a part of, together with many internationally acclaimed artists. At least 40% of the proceeds from artwork sales benefit conservation and environmental education, and each artwork is dedicated to supporting a conservation organization of the artist’s choice.
Here is the artist that Natalie Featherston mentioned - Donald Roller Wilson.
