Rochelle Mason


Rochelle Mason, of RMFA Traveling Exhibits, aims to raise awareness about endangered species through art. Her international traveling exhibits generally represent less-romantic animals that get little public attention. “I strive to help people understand that these animals which share our world are trying to have a life, just like you and me”, says Mason.

Focus on Nature: Wildcats of the World 
Available 2007-2012    $1500 per 8 weeks plus shipping

For the first time ever, all 36 species of wildcats from around the world are represented in one exhibit. Focus on Nature: Wildcats of the World is a collection of 36 framed prints from oil paintings by endangered species artist Rochelle Mason and watercolor paintings from wildlife artist Linda DuPuis-Rosen. In addition to representing the 9 familiar big cats, this fascinating series brings much-needed attention to the rich and diverse family of 27 small cats, weighing less than 45 pounds, many of which have never been studied in the wild. The artist's works sensitively reflect the individual characteristics of each cat with a delightful infusion of "personality", which brings life to every vivid image.
