the cat or should i say the bird is out of the bag!

so the big exciting news everyones been dying to hear about is finally out!!

i have been invited by the wonderful elephant family charity to be one of 150 artists that will turn Edinburgh in to Jungle City later this summer!!!!

told you it was big news!

this is going to be the first multi animal exhibition in the world and the largest outdoor art exhibition Edinburgh has ever seen!

elephant family are hoping to raise £1million for conservation projects such as buying strategic habitat for the endangered Asian Elephant and the many other animals who share their forest homes including the Tiger, Orangutan, Crocodile and Hornbill all of which will feature in the exhibition.

the exhibition will capture the imagination of the city and create mass awareness of the tragic circumstances these creatures face. do we want to be the generation that lets these beautiful animals become extinct? NO i didn't think so! So really get behind the project the least you can do is sign the petition sign here :D

so keep checking back for more details and painting in progress photos! but heres a sneaky peak for now click here ta ta for now lovelies x
