Artist Sophie Green is inspired by animals, especially wildlife. In fact, she even sells her paintings and donates 10% of the profits to wildlife and conservation charities. Based in the UK, Green paints elephants, giraffes, lions, and other beautiful animals in a photorealistic style, showing their stunning beauty and vulnerability.
“It is my view that everybody should be making a concerted effort to improve the dire situation that our planet is currently in; whether it be through donating time, money, making lifestyle changes, or educating others,” the artist tells My Modern Met. “For me, I use my art to depict both the beauty and the vulnerability of the natural world, raise awareness for conservation issues, and encourage others to consider how they too can make a difference.”
Her paintings show animals against blank backdrops, which makes the viewer focus on the animal’s features and beauty. She finds the natural world fascinating and has been in love with it since childhood.
Green sells original paintings, as well as prints, in her online store. The fact that she donates part of her profit to saving the animals makes this the #1 stop for anyone who shares her passion. This is a perfect way to get a beautiful art piece for your home!
