Welcome to the Wildlife of Xtina Parks

​

I'm pretty much a self-taught artist who ditched my day job and dug my heels in. I'm a photographer, conservationist, author, and researcher that works in the field to conserve, protect, and rehabilitate the land for animals and people alike in Africa. I use my voice and my skills to bring the world of the African bush to life, hoping I inspire others to appreciate and love our precious planet along the way... all while focusing on what still is left of the natural world. The big skies! The open savannahs! The sound of elephants roaming in the wild.

​

I also am an African art and Fair-Trade gallery owner who works to showcase and sell the works of incredibly talented artisans, craftspeople, and villagers from all over the African continent.

​

Join me on my journey of places rich with the tapestry of life, in all its forms.
