Making a Difference Through Art
As an artist dedicated to both visual storytelling and impactful change, I collaborate with several nonprofit organizations that align with my commitment to conservation, advocacy, and social justice. Below are the organizations I actively support, along with my contributions to their vital work.
A significant portion of the proceeds from my art sales is donated to WildAid, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, and Tsavo Trust. This commitment reflects my deep dedication to wildlife conservation and the protection of our planet’s most vulnerable species and ecosystems.
Ol Pejeta is a Kenyan conservancy that protects endangered species, including the last two northern white rhinos, and supports surrounding communities. My collaboration with Ol Pejeta includes providing photography and videography that enhances their marketing and social media campaigns. In 2025, I will also assist in planning and executing a fundraising campaign in the United States to support their ongoing conservation and community development projects.
WildAid works to reduce global wildlife consumption and combat illegal wildlife trade by raising awareness and supporting initiatives that protect endangered species. I contribute to WildAid by donating artwork for their silent auctions, with proceeds directly supporting their conservation efforts. Additionally, I am partnering with WildAid Africa to develop strategies that will help expand their smelly elephant repellent initiative, aimed at protecting both elephants and local communities from conflict.
Tsavo Trust is dedicated to the protection of Kenya’s wildlife, particularly the large tusker elephants, through conservation, security, and community engagement. I am honored to support Tsavo Trust both financially and creatively. I am currently producing a short documentary film that will showcase the importance of their work in safeguarding these iconic species and preserving Kenya’s natural heritage.
DCAC provides critical services to children who have experienced abuse, offering a path to healing and justice. I am proud to contribute to their mission by donating artwork to their annual Art for Advocacy fundraiser. Last year, my contributions raised funds for the organization, and I am continuing this partnership to help DCAC provide hope and support to vulnerable children in our community.
