Calling in from the United Kingdom, Sophie Green is a contemporary artist and conservationist known for her hyper-realistic animal paintings that raise awareness and financial support for issues surrounding animal welfare and the environment. She shares her experiences swimming with manatees in Florida, her Arctic expedition to observe polar bears, and the inspiration behind her new "Commodities" collection, a poignant critique on humans' exploitation of wildlife.

While her work has captured the attention of organizations like National Geographic and the Jane Goodall Institute, she was also commissioned by Dean Saunders to create a painting for The Saunders Art Collection. Her painting, entitled "Florida's Gentle Giant," features a graceful manatee swimming through sunlit waters.
