Inspiration Wild: An Artistic Celebration of Nature and Environment

WAMA’s (The Wildlife Art Museum of Australia’s) inaugural publication, ‘Inspiration Wild: An Artistic Celebration of Nature and Environment,’ is a full-colour art book. The concept for this book developed in parallel with the planning for WAMA’s 2014 launch to showcase a selection of artwork and essays by Australian artists with international reputations. This coffee table book features internationally recognized artists from Australasia who work in diverse ways to stimulate curiosity and encourage commitment to preserving our unique nature and environment. Through personal narratives, accompanied by full-colour images of their works and diary sketches, they describe inspirations drawn from the wild world, encompassing both flora and fauna. Proceeds from book sales go toward WAMA’s fundraising efforts to bring the WAMA Project to life, an eco-tourism destination project that celebrates the relationship between art, science, and nature.
