Phew, we’re finally getting back on track after the rollercoaster of the Art for Conservation Auction 2026!
This is quick post to shout out the gallery team for all the hard work and dedication - you guys are the best ❤️
Featured here looking smashing are Molly, Glen, Justin and Aidan, but the rest of the team who aren’t pictured because they were behind the camera or holding down the fort elsewhere - you guys are also good looking and awesome 😉
A beautiful coming together in support of a greater cause.
An afternoon where art met purpose, and every moment carried meaning.
To those who joined us, thank you for standing with us.
On the hill, where moments become something more.

We revisited a conversation with the phenomenal @buthelezimbongeniart ahead of this year’s Art for Conservation Auction. His style is vibrant, unique, resourceful and boldly engages with meaning.
A beautiful 1.5m x 1.2m piece of his will be on auction May 1st and proceeds will go towards funding conservation efforts.

Yesterday was Earth Day. 🌍
A reminder of what sustains us and what we are called to protect.
I’m SO honoured to be part of the Art for Conservation Auction taking place on 1 May at Netherwood Farm, Midlands, where we come together in support of conservation through our work and services.
Here’s a few of my favourite pieces from the catalogue, along with my own, Prins and Prinses Fynbos. Rooted in this landscape, in wild growth, in the delicate balance of our nature kingdom.
If you feel called to take part, you can register to bid via the link in my bio.
Proceeds directly support The Boucher Legacy’s critical conservation work, including:
Rhino protection and anti-poaching initiatives
Pangolin rescue, rehabilitation and anti-trafficking efforts
African wild dog conservation, protecting one of Africa’s most endangered predators
Every artwork sold contributes to safeguarding South Africa’s wildlife.
Art has a way of holding and sometimes of protecting what cannot speak for itself.
