What is Rhinotopia? It's the utopia for rhinos!

Written by Sarah Soward

Rhinotopia Beginnings is a collection of the first thirty-eight oil paintings in my Rhinotopia series that equate the rhino to the sacred. The paintings work with archetypes from around the world in the form of deities, powers, and forces of nature. The book presents the paintings with art analysis and context to deepen the reader’s connection to the art and, more importantly, to the rhino. 

• Over 30 high resolution images
• A look into the inspiration and art theory behind each painting
• So. Many. Rhinos.

BOOK DETAILS

My Rhinotopia painting series was created to inspire personal connections to the rhino and encourage people to admire and protect them. Once the planned series was complete, I made a book. That 1st edition is no longer in print, so if you have one, cherish it!

Rhinotopia Beginnings is currently in print in two different editions so that all the rhino lovers of the world have options! People asked for a portrait-oriented design in both hardcover and softcover, and people keep telling me they love the original landscape layout too. So, please enjoy this solution: both!
