Wildlife has always encompassed my life even from childhood. Living in Laguna Canyon I am never short of subjects to paint.
Wildlife conservation is extremely important to me and my goal is to touch people through my art.
I want people to see the personality of the animals I paint.

Man is diminishing lower species by the thousands and sometimes millions each day, including our endangered species. My art attempts to enlighten the viewer to their unique beauty, their plight, and the need to protect what is left, before they are completely annihilated.

I achieved a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and I work in both two and three dimensional media.
My art allows viewers to make their own assessments and interpretations based on universal themes. I often focus on the moods of extreme stillness, or active mobility which recurs in my work.
My art is currently held in multiple private collections, and I have done large scale public outdoor works as well.
I hope that viewers seeing my works are able to connect with them based on familiar themes, folklore, or historical events in their own lives.

Pastel Painting of a Bumble Bee that regularly visited my garden in late fall of 2020. A friend, Bailey, taught me how to pet Bumblebees. Bumblebees are not aggressive and do not mind an occasional 'touch' from a human as long as it does not stop them from their workload. This Bumble Bee was a really big bee and it intimidated me. But Bailey gently rubbed this Bumblebee's back as it tasted the fall flowers in my garden.

As a South Florida resident I am very aware of the dangers to our manatee population. These gentle giants are constantly threatened by cold water temperatures as well as boat propellers.
I love painting wildlife, especially underwater scenes that challenge me to capture a sense of depth and light. This is my second entry with the mama and baby manatee theme. Last year my first entry did very well and I decided to paint another version with more color.

Growing up in the Catskills, I was surrounded by artists and nature. When I took up painting, I discovered that long-forgotten childhood memories emerged, transformed by time and space. My colorful animals reflect the joy and wonder of the natural world as seen through the eyes of a child.
After I finish a painting, I often discover a spiritual connection to the image, a feeling that I wasn't aware of in the process of creating. My hope is that the viewer will also have a sense of the spiritual quality of all living things.

This project represents a complaint about the damage that human beings exert towards other beings considered inferior to us, either with excessive hunting or the exploitation of the space they inhabit, forcing them to subsist in increasingly smaller territories and thereby considerably reducing the number of species that inhabit our planet.

I believe that art is about having a choice. The choice sometimes is impossible in real life. Each time creating a new world on a canvas, I make a new discovery, which helps me to understand this world, and most importantly to appreciate life. I think my works should give the viewer an understanding of how fortunate humanity is on this journey on our planet Earth. Even if life's circumstances seem hopeless - there is always a way out. Realization of the past, appreciation of the present, and the joyful expectation of the future - all this takes place in my works.

I am an internationally exhibited and collected artist, based in Fort Lauderdale. Art4Apes is my most important and favorite cause.
My paintings are inspired by the natural magnificence, physical complexity, and inherent power of the Great Apes and other critically endangered species. These paintings are made of oil paint, pastel and graphite to capture revealing and expressive facial details and textures. The
artistic media are chosen for the flexible, direct and linear qualities that I love most in painting, drawing and sculpture. Informed by my sculpture; I aim to paint genuine volume and presence to activate the need to protect Great Apes and other endangered animals in our world. I combine intricate, accurate portrayal with energized gestural lines.
My artistic intention is to paint these animals with as much living presence as possible. Their visual presence is intended to augment awareness for all endangered creatures and heighten our attention and protection.

ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2021 Submission
Becoming a wildlife artist began about 15 years ago and changed my outlook on nature as a whole. It made me very aware of how precious and endanger the wild world around us is. I go into the field to photograph most of my own reference material, both the wildlife and the landscape settings. I do a lot of research before beginning a painting so I can to be sure I represent the animal and environment with realistic accuracy. My passion for detail comes from a desire to bring as much of the wild world to life as I can for the viewer.
I have won many national and international awards for my work, and have published in “Stokes of Genius”, Volume 6, “Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine, “Best of Colored Pencil,” Volume Five, Strokes of Genius volume 6, The Artist’s Magazine,” “Southwest Art Magazine”, Art Wanted- “Creative Minds,” “Art Journey Animals: A Collection of Inspiring Contemporary Masterworks,” and the “Wyoming Wildlife Magazine.”

The Last Songbird © 2021 Susan Saladino | All Rights Reserved
ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2021 Submission
The Last Songbird speaks to the fate of the Ortolan Bunting, a tiny bird from France weighing less than an ounce. The fragile bird is mercilessly hunted, though illegal. A thriving black market estimates that 30,000 beautiful songbirds are captured and sold illegally in France. To catch the migrating birds, hunters use nets and snares entangling whole flocks as they fly. Once captured the little birds are either kept in darkness for weeks, or have their eyes poked out while being overfed to fatten them. Once fattened the birds are thrown alive into a vat of brandy. Terrified they slowly drown and then are roasted and served. The torturous preparation is not the reason their capture is illegal; they are considered endangered with a decreasing population. Leave it to humans to engage in such horrific cruelty for gluttony.
