Art for Conservation

Mary Anne Vaz creates conservation awareness through her paintings and stories. Her musical drama, “Rainbow Birds “, won the Chief Minister’s Cup in 2002 in the state-wide musical drama contest. It features a Kelabit girl trying to save birds in Sarawak from poachers. She also mentors young artists and public speakers apart from organizing conservation-awareness events.
'My Mother's Eyes', 'Deep Beauty', 'Splash' and 'Sarawak Beauty' are some art pieces donated to WCS Malaysia as part of her commitment to conservation.
