Artist's Skill Will Boost Care of Tigers

Linda, of Blackden Close, will be supplying some of her tiger paintings for use on postcards, greeting cards and other publications to raise money for various charity and fund-raising organisations.  As well as boosting funds,  she hopes that her work will help raise awareness about the plight of the tiger.

She says: "I love animals and hate any form of cruelty to them. I've always felt that by painting them, I have been raising awareness of them.  I have exhibited all around Britain and in Europe and so I feel that my work is helping to spread a positive message about preserving wildlife further afield."

Linda's concern for tigers has been fuelled by the fact that latest statistics indicate that the Bali, Caspian and Javan species have completely disappeared in the last 50 years and that there are less than 10,000 South China, Siberian, Indo-Chinese and Bengal tigers in existence.

So far, her paintings of tigers have been based on animals in zoos and wildlife parks in Britain, but, she is hoping to make a trip to India in the near future and work with rangers to paint tigers in their native habitat.

Some of her paintings have also been selected for use on cards by the World Wildlife Fund and the RSPCA.
