I selected the ring tailed lemur as my subject because I am interested in conservation, and Madagascar has a variety of species of Lemur, all either vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered. Before the lockdown I visited a nature sanctuary where some of these lively animals resided, and was charmed by their playful and inquisitive natures.

I am a Kent, UK, based artist with interests in nature, landscapes and abstract themes. This is my first entry to a major competition.
