The Guardian Hyena, 2020, The “Tribes & Wildlife Bonds” Collection freehand by Cheryl Galbraith.
The inspiration behind this painting comes from an article I had come across. Covering that Hyenas have always featured prominently in the life of Addis Ababa – and Ethiopia. Contrary to many countries where the beasts are reviled and feared, in Ethiopia there is a long tradition of people and hyenas living side-by-side in harmony. I wanted to create a painting that showed a young child exploring with the protection of his hyena guardian.
