Who We Are
Artists for Wildlife Conservation invests time and money in the global effort to conserve all vulnerable and endangered species, ranging from big cats, rhinos, and mountain gorillas, to right whales, crocodiles, elephants, and even coral reefs. During this time of chaos around the world, it is more important than ever to help save these threatened species. The clock is ticking, our planet is at stake and we desperately want to save it. Established in 2018 to raise both awareness and finances to support essential conservation efforts around the globe, AWC welcomes not only artists and conservation specialists, but all who feel passionate about the critical need to preserve and protect wildlife. Whenever possible, we will be there on site to support our cause. We channel our passion to inspire creative collaboration and send the message that we must persevere and save our planet now, not later.
Sophy grew up surrounded by her grandmother's paintings of delicate flowers and exotic plants. She started drawing by attempting to copy her grandmother's work. Eventually, she started to go outside and draw the flowers in her mother's garden. She continued drawing and exploring, eventually picking up a paintbrush and learning to sculpt as well. She went to college for illustration and has been an artist in some form or another ever since.
Sophy has always been deeply inspired by the natural world and all the plants and animals that create the beautiful environments that she's been able to experience. Her favorite ecosystems are the pine and oak forests where she grew up in Central Massachusetts. Having moved around a lot as a child, the forest behind her house became a constant in her life where she could grow and explore and connect with the different plants and animals. Whenever she finds herself in the forest in New England, she feels calm and at home. Sophy tries to donate at least 10% of her income to non-profits and charities that she feels are really making a difference.
She tries to support those who are more directly making an impact in environmental causes. She wishes that more people, especially those with an excessive income, would put their money into causes that would help make the world a
better place for both humans and our fellow creatures.
