Linda Besse has just been named the Safari Club International 2018 Artist of the Year.

Besse’s painting Stars and Stripes Forever is this year’s Featured Artist of the Year painting. It was one of her African trips that inspired the piece. When she saw the Selous sub-species of the plains zebra in Tanzania, their stunning head-to-hoof stripes captivated her. Besse decided a night scene would create the most interesting drama for this iconic African species. And while they cannot see in the dark, she envisioned the zebras’ rapt attention could only mean they heard something. Maybe the soft pad of a slowly moving paw somewhere in the grass?

The original painting was auctioned off at the SCI Convention in Las Vegas. Safari Club International will also be producing 125 giclee prints of Stars and Stripes Forever to distribute to qualifying SCI Chapters.A Certificate of Authenticity accompanies each of the 125 prints.
