When Caroline Schultz (1936 - 2004) began to paint exotic animals, she brought to her work the modern art background and experiences she had accumulated throughout the years. She created a style that is so unique it has created a stir in the art world. She has a special empathy for the mother animals and their young. "As a woman and mother, I deeply understand the God-given instinct and oneness of creation and nature." Also Schultz didn't have to go on safari in Africa to paint wild animals. "I felt I needed to see the animals in their natural habitat.”
