Sleepy Rhino (Lines Series) by

Ink on Paper

It’s tiring being on the brink of extinction. The last remaining Black Rhino in southern Africa are in real trouble. I have a friend back in Africa, Julie, who works tirelessly for the black rhino. A percentage of sales of this and other artwork to come, will go towards her fantastic, lifelong work to save this incredible animal.

About Katie Grubb

My work is inextricably linked to my African homeland. I pursue issues of dislocation, diaspora & journeys. Maps and aerial views feature predominately in my recent work. Drawing is my passion. I love to paint too, but struggle with it’s complexities – Colour is an important part of my work but every now and then I yearn for the honesty of the plain, drawn line.
