Description:
Artist Statement: "This Bengal Tiger, Rajin, was born into a circus that went out of business in Spain. He was given to the Castellar Rescue Zoo. He currently lives in a modest but beautifully landscaped environment, with trees to climb, a waterfall and a pool to bathe in. Although he's not in a jungle where we would imagine him to be, he's definitely in a place where he's loved and cherished. He is actively involved in a captive breeding program for endangered species."
Techniques Used: Painted on silk with fabric dyes and inks by Syrie Blanco Walsh. Pieced, thread painted and free motion quilted by Maria Ferri Cousins.
