Traveling exhibit features all 36 species of wildcats from around the world
For
the first time ever, all 36 species of
wildcats from
around the
world are represented in one exhibit. Focus
on Nature:
Wildcats of the World
is a
collection of 36 framed prints by artists Rochelle Mason and Linda
DuPuis-Rosen. In addition to representing the 9 familiar big cats, this
fascinating series brings much-needed attention to the rich and diverse
family of 27 small cats, weighing less than 45 pounds, many of which
have
never been studied in the wild. The artist's works sensitively reflect
the individual characteristics of each cat with a delightful infusion
of "personality", which brings life to every vivid image.
