The Wild Animal Sanctuary Announces Collaboration with Artist Christopher Clark

KEENESBURG, Colo., July 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Wild Animal Sanctuary, in collaboration with artist Christopher Clark debuted a collection of five original artworks featuring some of the Sanctuary's most memorable rescued animals.

The collaboration marks the first time The Wild Animal Sanctuary has worked with the internationally acclaimed artist known for his work with Marvel Fine Art and as Lucasfilm's #1 selling artist. The new collection, shown at the entrance of the Sanctuary's visitor center, beautifully captures a sense of serenity and freedom across each painting and blends colorful oil and acrylic elements in an impressionist style.

"We are thrilled to showcase Christopher's art so visitors from all over the world can be exposed to his exceptional talent. The originals are perfect for new or seasoned collectors alike," said Pat Craig, Executive Director of The Wild Animal Sanctuary. In addition to the five originals, a variety of prints will also be available online and in-person at the Sanctuary's gift shop, with each sale further helping support the Sanctuary and the animals.

Located near Keenesburg, Colorado, The Wild Animal Sanctuary is the largest nonprofit carnivore sanctuary in the world, with over 650 rescued animals, including lions, tigers, bears, wolves, leopards, and other large carnivores living in large-acreage natural habitats. Established in 1980, the Sanctuary operates three locations with more than 10,000 acres for abused, abandoned, and confiscated carnivores and specializes in rehabilitating captive wildlife so they can be released into natural habitats where they can roam freely and live with others of their own kind.
