Leon Fouche' is a young South African wildlife artist ,wildlife photographer and conservationist who displays exceptional talent and passion for his work.

Choosing pastels as his medium , he is inspired to portray the spectacular animal and bird life that he has personally encountered in their natural habitat.

Since completing his schooling in 2001 , Leon has enjoyed increasing success at his numerous art exhibitions .His work has also won numerous awards both locally and internationally.

The African bush was home to Ingrid during her childhood , instilling in her a profound love for nature and its lavish bounty .Without formal art training she began her career as a commercial photographer .

However she was drawn back to the wild places, and worked in the Zambezi valley and in Chobe , Botswana as a guide to foreign tourists until moving to South Africa in the 1980's .

She only managed to paint in her spare time in the 1980's and 90's whilst raising her two sons , but now enjoys painting full time in both oils and pastels exhibiting together with her son Leon.
