Acclaimed wildlife artist Kim Donaldson's masterful renderings bring the untamed spirit and
breathtaking beauty of endangered African animals to life. Born in Zimbabwe, the artist was
raised on a farm where he developed a keen knowledge and love of nature. His artistic talent,
apparent at any early age, was nurtured by his teachers and he was encouraged to pursue a
career in the arts. While working as a commercial artist, Donaldson continued to study fine
art, experimenting with a variety of media and subjects.
Donaldson's signature style captures endangered African animals in meticulous detail
and portrays the fragile relationship between his subjects and their environment. Each year
Donaldson spends two months traveling through Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia observing
threatened species of wildlife in their natural habitats. Donaldson's work has been featured in
numerous exhibitions aimed at raising the awareness of the plight of vanishing wildlife and
rainforest habitats.
