Most African land mammals now exist only in islands? isolated by the encroaching modernity of man, their migratory routes disrupted and the battle front drawing closer each year.Unlike the Masai (East African Kenyan Tribe) however, and despite the noble efforts of animal trainers, an elephant can't pull a trigger in defense, and a zebra can't change its stripes - to fit into our world.?

There is an emotionally charged and heightened sense of super reality to her paintings. Each grandiose canvas in inhabited by life-sized animals to ensure their presence is felt. In this way, these magnificent creatures cannot be dismissed.

Kindrie's animals come to life on canvas and the results are monumental and breathtaking. She relishes the luster and richness of oils, their slow-drying characteristic allowing for controlled blending and lighting effects.
