Invasion by Sharlena Wood
1930s inspired sci-fi interpretation dedicated to my beloved cat Mordecai ... who every day reminds me in his miserable way that his kind came here, and are still waiting for their Mothership to return! This is the untold story and history of the legion Felis Catus, explorers of new galaxies in search of a primitive pre-warp civilization planet to conquer... who once upon a time found earth and quietly ruled as the dominant species for thousands of years.

South China Tiger • Sharlena Wood • Charcoal on Paper
Sadly, the South China Tiger is considered by scientists to be “functionally extinct,” as it has not been sighted in the wild for more than 25 years. With perhaps only 100 existing in captivity, they are one of the world's 10 most endangered animals and the most endangered of the six surviving tiger subspecies, their fate primarily due to to habitat loss. Our legacy is one of economy, development and dominion above all, rather than one of respect and appreciation for the land we are apart of. But I believe a collective evolution and rise in consciousness is happening everywhere, and in greater numbers than most would like to admit. Take a look into this creature's eyes ... think about, what matters most? what do you truly want? where shall we all go from here?

Oil on board - 24" x 48Artist Kelli Coulson
"I am very passionate about the idea that ivory is for Elephants. I have never understood how humans could kill such a majestic creature, all to make useless trinkets that have no purpose. The ivory of an Elephant is rightfully theirs - is it part of their majestic, living being.
The title of the piece is what inspired the image. An elephant - threatening, defiant, tenacious and wise...his eyes a window to all living souls - feel his strength!
The symbol in the background is of the African Symbol Tabono. It represents strength and perseverance. I surrounded the elephant in this symbol as protection."~Kelli Coulson

CALL TO ARTISTS • IVORY IS FOR ELEPHANTS •Artists interested raising awareness and creating works that honour, educate and support a global change in mentality and preservation of this majestic creature, are not alone.Illegal poaching continues despite the declining population, endangered status, and protection from conservation...yet is it only possibly to be controlled, or is there a powerful consciousness rising that can re-write old mindsets and ways? Are artists a catalyst in raising not only awareness, but inspiring a shift in consciousness and enlightenment? Consumer demand, mystical beliefs, and poverty have perpetuated this tragedy ... but we believe it to be possible, to bring hope not only to Elephants, but to our own species - that beyond our struggles and desires, we are capable of choosing to nurture the love, empathy, respect and appreciation within. Let us return to our creative and caring hearts - remarkable, strong, inspiring, and warm - to lighting the dark, corrupt and cold. The world is changing from within - We are ONE ❤ International Artists! Beginning January 15th 2013, any artists interested in art-activism focused on the survival of the Elephant, and contributing one work of art to build an online collective of prints for sale (profits supporting one or more conservation initiatives to be discussed) should send inquiry to: < sharlenawood@gmail.com >. Current artists in support of ‘IVORY IS FOR ELEPHANTS‘ collaboration are Kelli Coulson and Sharlena Wood
