Prints for Wildlife - Angel the rare white Eastern Grey Kangaroo for the Little Urchins Wildlife Sanctuary
A black frame is also available, please leave a note at checkout if you’d like this option.
100% of profits are donated to the Little Urchins Wildlife Sanctuary, Victoria
Inspired by a request to buy a large print of Waldo the orphaned joey that graced the cover of the Country Style magazine Spirit of the Bush issue in early 2020, I launched a personal project to raise funds for some of our dedicated wildlife carers who give so much to our native animals.
The concept is simple. I visit wildlife sanctuaries, take a portrait of one animal, and 100% of profits from each sale of that fine art print goes directly to that wildlife sanctuary.
The funds will be used to care for the wildlife in their care, generally on things like food, teats and bottles, maintenance of the shelter, and fuel. Most of the sanctuaries are completely self-funded or rely on occasional donations.
Little Urchins Wildlife Sanctuary
Kat and Eddie Agar-Teehan started Little Urchins Wildlife Sanctuary over 10 years ago, and have now found their forever home in Reedy Creek on a large property that backs onto a state forest. They are incredibly dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, protection and release of native Australian wildlife, and work around the clock to the animals in their care another chance at life.
They are currently raising money to build a wildlife hospital at the sanctuary.

Angel’s story
Angel’s mother was called Granny. Granny was on death row at a wildlife fauna park before she was rescued along with the rest of her mob, and taken to Kat at Little Urchins Wildlife Sanctuary. She was the oldest kangaroo in the mob and was thin, partially blind and deaf. Kat believes she was more than 20 years old, which is very old for a kangaroo. All the little joeys that were relocated here adored her, and would follow her around everywhere, hence the name Granny.
Granny became very sick and passed away in early 2019. Before she died, and for the first time ever, Granny reached out to Kat, sniffed and licked her hand, and put her face up to Kat’s. Granny was never a tactile kangaroo and kept her distance from humans, but Kat thought this was Granny’s way of saying thank you - thank you for saving her and looking after her.
When Kat was examining her afterwards, she was shocked to find a joey in her pouch. Granny never had a joey of her own at the shelter, but had blessed Kat and Eddie with this beautiful baby after she passed. She was tiny, and Kat and Eddie didn’t think she’d make it, so gave her to Julie and Francois at JABS who specialise in pinkies (furless joeys) to give her the best chance at life.
To everyone’s delight, she survived, but then shocked everyone again by growing into a rare white Eastern Grey kangaroo joey (she’s not an albino). Stronger and bigger, she returned to her home at Little Urchins Wildlife Sanctuary.
UPDATE - Sadly, Angel passed away in January of 2021 due to a delayed diagnosis from the unavailability of an x-ray. But from Angel’s passing has come great inspiration from Little Urchins as they vowed to never let another animal suffer due to the lack of x-ray technology. The project to fundraise for a portable x-ray has been successful, including $2789 proudly donated by Prints for Wildlife in March 2021.

Sustainability
Are sustainable materials used to produce your fine art prints?
Yes - the frames are produced from locally-sourced Victorian ash which has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. FSC certification provides the highest level of protection for rare and endangered forests and wildlife, and is the only system that mandates consultation with local Indigenous Peoples.
The prints themselves are a 310gsm 100% cotton rag, which is considered the most environmentally photographic paper as it doesn't use any tree fibres. Instead, it is produced from a recycled by-product of the textile making industry. While the cotton industry itself isn't very environmentally friendly - the cotton rag paper is a by-product and therefore is considered to have a low environmental impact as no cotton is grown specifically to make the paper stock.
In addition to this, the prints are made to last - they are museum quality which means they will be protected for over 100 years.
What do you use to package the prints for shipping?
Packages are wrapped with Polycell EcoPure, a biodegradable bubble wrap alternative which is designed to degrade plastic in a landfill overtime. Frames are shipped in cartons from 3BC stock which is comprised of 77% recycled content and 33% from FSC certified kraft fibres that are sourced from Gippsland in Victoria.
Is the shipping carbon neutral?
Sure is!
