Jane Goodall

 

Our planet needs more people like Jane Goodall. To say that she will be missed is an understatement.

In 2019 I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting her at an event at the Walt Disney Family Museum. That special evening included an auction of artworks to benefit one of Jane's charities.

I wanted to contribute a wire sculptor, and I remembered a beautiful photo from an early National Geographic article. She called this junior chimp  Flint. 

He might make a nice wire sculpture, I thought. First I looked at some chimp drawings I had done earlier before starting to work with the wire.

The last photo does not show Wire Flint from his best angle, but you get the idea.

Here's to Jane Goodall, an ambassador for chimpanzees, wildlife, people and our earth!
