Creativity for Conservation
We need to take actions NOW toward saving and protecting endangered wildlife, to ensure that future generations can enjoy them.
Philosophy: Engage - not enrage!
Reach, teach, engage and communicate with a world-wide audience and to raise awareness and funds to save our precious Australian animals.
How we support Australian conservation:
- Create unique and inspiring original art
- Raise money through sales and awareness and support through campaigns
- Communicate well to raise awareness of Australian native wildlife and issues around their survival in natural habitats
- Connect you to conservation projects, programs and organisations doing great work
- Deliver innovative advocacy, educational resources and campaigns.
Education - free colouring-in activity sheets

Contributions, fundraising and awareness
As a new, artisan business, Wildcard-Sue has only started to trade well at markets toward the end of 2022. Much of the money earned through sales of products has gone back into the development of content and printing of activity sheets that are handed out for free to children all over Sydney. The reality is, small artisan businesses like this are not profitable. We just turn over for years!
Here are a few dedicated campaigns where contributions are raised from sales.
- 2022 - March - June - $1 from market sales - $250 raised and donated to WIRES
- 2022 - September and ongoing - Save Our Bees supporting Rotarians for Bees through donations from sales of the bee range
Clean-up Clifton Gardens
Collaborations: art, education and community
We support established organisations that share our positivity, passion and are ‘hands-on’ in conservation and education. It's more powerful when we work together...and it's more fun!
