Christine Lamberth is a Wildlife Artist who specializes in African Wildlife Art. Her work redirects the gaze of the viewer from the romantic concept of an African landscape to a current worldview, where the imminent danger of a disappearing species becomes the focus. The use of monochrome imagery lends a dramatic slant to the subject highlighting the form. Her choice of a closely cropped image, where the viewer will be drawn into a direct gaze of an animal, is also deliberate. Christine is aspiring to set up a conversation that will elucidate a sense of awareness, that informs the viewer without resorting to the cheap trickery of imagery that reflects the gore of destruction.
