All reasonable offers will be considered. About the artist: A wildlife painter whose work often has sparrows, Michael Dumas reflects his love of the outdoors linked to his childhood in Canada. He was born in Quebec at a Red Cross outpost medical center 200 miles north of Toronto on the edge of Algonquin Park, and attended a small local school. From childhood, he was interested in drawing and painting, encouraged by an aunt who lived near his family. Dumas began working as a full time artist in 1975, at the age of 24. He enjoyed financial success in the burgeoning art reproduction market of the 1980's, but his focus has always been on the market for his originals, and though a large body of his work features endangered species, a great deal of his subject matter is outside of the field of wildlife. Since achieving much recognition for his paintings, he has done much effective work for wildlife conservation and is credited with raising more than five-million dollars. His efforts include raising money from the Japanese royal family and working with Paleo-anthropologist Richard Leakey in Kenya. In tandem with his painting schedule, Michael Dumas spends much time on the lecture circuit for conservation, and this devotion has led him to discontinue giving art workshops.
