Artists for Conservation - Virtual Exhibit
AFC's annual juried "International Exhibit of Nature in Art" is the world's top conservation-themed art exhibit and sale. It's a rare opportunity for art collectors to buy original artwork by internationally acclaimed artists and directly support conservation work. At least 40% of proceeds from artwork sales benefits conservation and environmental education, and each artwork is dedicated to supporting a conservation organization of the artist's choice.

I am thrilled to share that my painting "The Watchful Eye" is part of this exhibit and a contribution to conservation efforts.

About
My name is Stefanie Bretecher.
I am a self taught artist and have been creating stunning pieces of art since 2017 under my brand “Rugged Trail Art”. My passion for nature and wildlife is reflected in every piece I create, aiming to raise awareness for wildlife conservation.
My work has been featured in galleries across the province and sold internationally. I try to push the boundaries of my craft, using a variety of mediums and techniques to bring my subjects to life in new and exciting ways.
