Towards the end of 2007 a philanthropist couple, out of the blue, offered to fund a trip for me to Africa. No strings attached just because it makes them happy to support the dreams of others. I found my self momentarily dumb struck at the generosity of the offer. Those that know me would be skeptical at the even the possibility of me being stuck for words. However this was such a time. I feel a great sense of pride that these people have thought me worthy of such a gift.
My aims will be:
- For my work to reflect the energy generated by life changing encounters with the creature and environment of Africa.
- To share the energy, knowledge and enthusiasm generated by the trip in a manner that reflects the generosity that made it possible.
I will endeavor to document my travels on WILD PAINTER . These updates will begin in May. Frequency of updates will be determined by the availability of internet cafes.
