"WildArtAfrica - When Paintings Come Alive" invites you into the world of high realism portrait and wildlife painting with internationally renowned artist Daniel Taylor.  The journey begins in Africa, follows the path of a creative vision, and ends in Canada with high realism masterworks  on canvas.

With his intimate, intense portraits of endangered species, Daniel Taylor catches the spirit of African wildlife, which is the key to his present position in the art world.

WildArtAfrica is a project of Canadian high realist artist Daniel Taylor and the African Conservation Foundation. Goal is to raise awareness and funds for innovative projects that link community development needs with conservation. It also supports education of schoolchildren in Africa.

"The African Conservation Foundation seeks to help safeguard Africa's endangered wildlife. The knowledge they have acquired through all their hard work, I couldn't even attempt to attain in my lifetime. I am a High Realist Artist - I have spent many years developing my technique, and feel I can reveal on canvas the warmth, the beauty of nature, but also the severity of the given crisis, that mere words cannot express.

Together we can make a difference. It is the synergy and combined commitment of people with different skills that can help save these wonderful animals for future generations.

I feel honoured to be able to paint such magnificent and vulnerable animals as it tears my heart out when I realise how endangered these fellow beings are. Through thoughtless actions we are bringing them to inevitable extinction, which will be our loss ... forever!"
~ Daniel Taylor
