About the Artist:

George Mpofu was born in Harare. He was inspired to make wild dogs by their beautiful colours and he wanted to highlight the plight of Wild Dogs.

George has a unique style of beaded wirework. He uses circular colour discs which are inspired by nature to make up his artworks.

He started making artworks at school and attended the School of Art in Harare.

Wild Dogs are Africa’s second most endangered carnivore after the Ethiopian Wolf. Once found in 39 countries they now roam in only 14.  The total number of breeding wild dogs left are 1400. As such they are classified as endangered on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.
