William Dixon: 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. I have pledged 20% of my proceeds of any cheetah photo sold be donated to the efforts of the Cheetah Conservation Fund. The cheetah and other magnificent endangered species may well be extinct in the wild during our lifetime without our help. Please click on the image or here to visit William's web page.

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 Cheeta Portal coverThe award-winning audiobook Cheetah Portal, by Bonnie j Nelson, was written while on safari in Africa in early 2006.

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.

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!
