In the end we will conserve only what we love
and we will love only what we understand

Lin Barrie lives at Senuko which is part of the Save (pronounced sar vay) Valley Conservancy in eastern Zimbabwe. The conservancy is dedicated to the protection of animals such as the Black Rhino and the African Hunting Dog, also known as the Wild Dog and the Painted Dog.

For the past 10 years Lin had worked with and studied these highly fascinating and socially complex African Wild Dogs, Lycaon pictus, which are breeding and thriving in the conservancy.

Lin works only from nature, directly creating large works of oil on canvas or oil on handmade paper from her own field sketches. Abstract movement and colour are paramount in her work, whether the subjects are the Wild Dogs, other animals or landscapes.

She has had successful exhibitions in Zimbabwe, South Africa, UK and USA.













Wild Dogs 'Deliberation' 130 cm x 100 cm and Wild Dogs 'Where to from here' 152 cm x by 74 cm. These paintings available at Senuko and prices are about 3000 US dollars each. For more information contact Lin at linb@senuko.com
