As for upcoming exhibitions, Block invites guests to step into the fascinating world of wildlife. Her deep love for the animal kingdom drives her work. Through years of careful observation and patience in the wild, she has honed her skills in uncovering the soulful moments and unique personalities of the creatures that share our world.
Filmed in Kenya, Alaska, the Falkland Islands, New York, Maine, Ontario, Montreal and the surrounding areas, and beyond, this exhibit does more than just showcase Block’s artistry. It is also a declaration of her love, respect and dedication to the wild. Her goal with In The Wild is to give viewers an intimate glimpse into the spirit of the animal kingdom. Ilana wants to share her love for animals with everyone.
In a heartfelt commitment to protecting our natural world, a portion of the proceeds from the “In The Wild” exhibition will go to support the conservation efforts and preservation of Technopark, one of the last remaining wetlands on the island of Montreal. It will be donated. His 500-plus acre Technopark in Dorval, adjacent to Trudeau International Airport, is the island’s most bird hotspot, with 222 bird species recorded to date.
By purchasing a limited edition wildlife piece from this exhibit, you’re not only reveling in the captivating beauty of the animal kingdom and supporting the work of artists, but also supporting the work of an important animal always under threat from industrial development. You will also be contributing to the protection of the local ecosystem.
“Together, we can make a difference and ensure that the enchanting world depicted in these photographs continues to thrive for generations to come,” says Block. . “Let these beautiful and wonderful beings continue to grace our earth with their presence.”
