2nd Prize - Fine Art

Congratulations to Kendra Ferreira for Endangered White Rhinos

Kendra’s work is mainly contemporary colored pencil, using ordinary subjects and compositions to portray them in an extraordinary way. Colored pencils allow her to combine the expressiveness of painting with the control of drawing. She uses color, line, value, shape, and light to portray emotion and luminescence in her work, and her intent is that each element is reflected in one another and develops simultaneously, deepening a relationship with one another.

Elements of nature, scenes from travel, or a unique view of a still life are inspirations for Kendra’s art. She is always trying to discover innovative new ways of working with colored pencils and new surfaces on which to work. These drawings of endangered or vulnerable animals were created from photographs Kendra took while on an African safari in 2021.
