‘Survivors’ - by wildlife artist Dominique Salm, in support of The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (DSWT)

About

In celebration of World Elephant Day on Wednesday 12th August, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (DSWT) welcomes you to a week-long exhibition featuring a stunning collection of original pencil and red earth drawings by award-winning wildlife artist, Dominique Salm, to help raise awareness for an iconic species under threat from ivory poaching.

In this heart-warming one-off exhibition, Dominique’s remarkably naturalistic portraits focus on individual orphaned baby elephants in the care of the DSWT’s Orphans’ Project in Kenya – a pioneering programme which works to rescue, hand-raise and rehabilitate orphaned calves, giving them a second chance at life in the wild. Discover the stories of these ‘survivors’ at the Menier Gallery from 10th to 15th August.

For all artwork sales, a generous 40% will be donated to the DSWT in support of their life-saving conservation projects in Kenya. Find out more at:
