In 18-20 months, this cheetah cub will be ready for its own journey of life, birth and death... The fastest land animal is running it most important race: the one for its own survival. Coexistence is the key to survival for both wildlife and people. " Daniel donates 20% of limited edition prints of this painting to the CCF.

Sherry Helen Mullett
At the High Road Gallery WAAL exhibit that opened yesterday, I received an award from Leadership Worthington with a check in a nominal amount (that I will donate to CCF).I've received other awards for painting, but for me, this was particularly meaningful because it indicates that my work "spoke" to someone. Isn't that what we're after, as artists? I, of course, was painting about the danger to the very existence of cheetahs, nature's works of art, but it's exciting to know that the concept was expanded far beyond, with danger to the cheetah becoming symbolic of other reference points. Silly, maybe, but the confirmation that I communicated something I believe in through my art means so much more than the sale of a painting or any award. I'm blushing!

Kathryn Weisberg
"I have painted wildlife for over 30 years and been involved with conservation efforts even as a child. It is my ardent hope that efforts like CCF will make a difference. The Cheetah is a powerful yet fragile symbol of freedom and independence. We must find a way to preserve their freedoms as we seek to preserve our own. Africa's population is expected to triple in this century (UN Population Division). We must find a way to set aside the required space now to support a sustainable population of these animals in an ecosystem that thrives. Human survival (whether they will admit it or not) is dependent on that sustainable ecosystem. I hope that my paintings will give these amazing animals a voice and find their way into peoples homes and into their hearts and consciousness. It is my meager contribution but one that I am uniquely suited to provide."
Kathryn is creating a signature CCF painting of a cheetah and will donate 80% of the sales of prints of the painting. (Please note that this painting is not completed and the image pictured is a sample of her work.) Please click here to view several examples of Kathryn's work.
Meet Dumo, by Lucci Liyeung
Lucci, a Medicine student in Hong Kong, was first inspired to create a cheetah character when she visited Namibia to work for wild animal shelters. She met Duma, a cheetah orphan, and the two bonded. Lucci could never forget how those generous cheetahs have shown her the true beauty of love and nature. She wanted to do a little something for them. With conservation of cheetahs in mind, Dumo was born under Lucci's pen(cil) in due course, embracing the mission of prospering his fellows' continuous survival. Lucci has donated her Dumo designs to CCF. View some of the great items we have created for kids on the CheetahShop at CafePress.com.

William Dixon Photography
"Over the years I have wondered how my photography might be used to make a difference in the lives of others."
Recently I volunteered with the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia and saw firsthand the plight of the cheetah as it struggles to survive. It is such a shame that man and nature are at odds. Please join me in my efforts to save the cheetah as well as other endangered species.

Animal Fashions by Jordan
Jordan's hand painted animals on hand dyed denim made in the U.S.A. are available through this site to raise consciousness and money for endangered wildlife.

Jordan began her career 40 years ago, when she opened her own boutique in Waikiki in Hawaii. This fledgling beginning led to three store locations and a small factory, which employed around 15 people. Her unconventional beginning as a clothing designer had its drawbacks, but also its advantages. The most important of these was having no one saying, “You can’t do that” in her life, which led to and encouraged innovative approaches to creating both product and marketing. Jordan soon became known for her artistic approach to producing clothing, which usually involved hand-painting. Read more...

CHEETAH PORTAL
The award-winning audiobook Cheetah Portal, by Bonnie j Nelson, was written while on safari in Africa in early 2006. It is the soul searching saga of one woman's journey into the raw splendor and heartbreak of Africa's terrain, exotic wildlife and exquisite people. She follows the tracks of the cheetah through a drought plagued country seeking the answer to one question: why has she been brought here? Battling demons and phobias with the spirit of her mother beside her, Bonnie's overwhelming desire to give back to a parched country and passion for the oldest wildcat on earth perilously close to the brink of extinction brings to you a gift. Bonnie supports CCF in many ways, including gifting her book as part of CCF's 2007 Year-End Challenge.

JAN COUTTS
The magnificent art of Jan Coutts is now saving cheetahs. Jan will donate 10% of art sold to CCF supporters.
Born in New Zealand, Jan moved to London in the early 90's. She attended Camden Art School ~ print, The Royal College of Art ~ drawing and completed her degree in sculpture at St. Martins College in 1994.
Jan's work is inspired by the hot landscapes of Africa. She paints the movement and the form created by the animals, be it individual big cats or herds of zebra racing through the wilderness. Her last two exhibitions in London and New York were complete sell out shows. She creates texture on the canvas by allowing the paint to dry quickly with a layer of varnish to cause a crackle glaze finish. Using this technique and layers of gold leaf, Jan manages to convey the warmth and dryness of the bush.
Please visit Jan's web site at http://www.jancoutts.com/ to view some of her work. Tell her that CCF referred you!
