Wildlife Preservation Canada Collection by Sarah McComb-Turbitt in Owen Sound
Wildlife Preservation Canada Collection
One month. 206 hours of painting. 15 incredible species at risk.
In a collaboration to bring awareness to Canada’s species at risk, Wildlife Preservation Canada and signature member of Artists for Conservation Sarah McComb Turbitt created a challenge for Sarah to paint as many endangered Canadian species as she can during January 2024. In this collection, 15% of all original paintings and 50% of profits on five limited edition prints will be donated to Wildlife Preservation Canada. WPC saves critically endangered species whose numbers in the wild are so low that hands-on action is the last defence to save them from extinction. WPC is the only organization in Canada to provide this critical need for wildlife in recovery efforts across the country, from the single population of endangered frogs in BC to the disappearing pollinators across Ontario.

Meet the Artist
Owen Sound, CanadaI am a Marine Biologist turned wildlife artist and muralist with my studio based in Owen Sound, Ontario. I have been a signature member of Artists for Conservation since 2019 with a united vision to preserve and sustain our natural heritage. In my work, I strive to capture the unique behaviours of animals and give us a window into the sentimental moments in their lives. I have supported conservation with every work created since transitioning to painting full-time in 2020.
I primarily create wildlife compositions on canvas and panels in my studio and ship my work to collectors across the globe. I love to work with collectors and create custom designs featuring animals seen on their travels or pets from their photographs. I also collaborate with a wide range of talented wildlife photographers as well to source reference images of requested species. I generally have a 2-4 month waitlist for commission works. In 2021, I began creating murals and have since travelled to create large-scale murals in three countries. Creating large works of art is incredibly fun and a welcome change of pace from my smaller, detailed works.
