Capturing Wildlife on Canvas

A live painting session is an educational and sensory experience for guests. I bring professional-grade oil painting to the habitats, allowing visitors to witness the meticulous process of capturing wildlife in real time and showcasing the animal in a light that connects guests to the idea that every animal has a unique personality and deepens their understanding of and connection with the exhibits.
