Subjects: | Anna-Louise Pickering is a writer, photographer and conservationist, who has dedicated her life to the welfare of endangered, sick and vulnerable creatures For over 25 years Anna-Louise worked alongside her late mother Pollyanna as her business partner. Pollyanna was passionate about only painting animals she had seen and sketched in their natural habitats, a quest which lead to her painting on all seven continents. Anna-Louise accompanied her on every journey, documenting the journeys photographically, and writing the text for their popular books. She has travelled by dog sled in the High Arctic, camping on the ice at temperatures of -40, canoed through crocodile infested rivers, and been charged by a wild tiger in search of her subjects. She is now pleased to present a series of nine talks about her life and work with Pollyanna, their expeditions to find endangered species in some of the most remote areas of the globe and their close contact with wildlife which inspired Pollyannas enchanting artwork. All talks raise funds for Pollyannas charitable Foundation which supports international conservation and wildlife rescue. All the talks are illustrated. |
