Lin Barrie lives in the vast wilderness of Save Valley Conservancy in the south east of Zimbabwe, on a granite kopje at Senuko Safari Lodge. Lin is an accomplished wildlife artist who graduated from Fine Art College and worked in textiles before turning to drawing and painting full time. Whilst she loves all nature, birds and wildlife, African Wild Dogs are her passion. The Conservancy has worked hard to protect this seriously endangered species, and for the last eight years Lin has had the privilege of being able to study and paint the breeding packs. Lin spends many hours at the dens, observing and recalling their characteristics, and follows the dogs when they hunt at dawn and dusk. Lin only works from nature and thus totally captures the spontaneity and realism of her subject. Her illustrated journal, "African Hunting Dog Diaries; Observations of wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) in Gonarezhou National Park and in The Save Valley Conservancy" is available on request.
