ArtSafaris is a travel-adventure series that follows rugged adventurer and renown wildlife artist, Ray Shaw, as he ventures into rarely seen, out-of-the-way locations to discover the various raw components that inspire his finished paintings. Lush tropical jungles, rugged mountains and arid deserts invite the viewers to experience the untamed, wondrous beauty of nature. Driving the program is the piecing together of Shaw's painting, like a jigsaw puzzle, to eventually reveal the completed masterpiece.

From Madagascar to Costa Rica, from Alaska to the Amazon, viewers accompany Shaw behind-the-scenes at wildlife parks, game preserves and the wilderness for real life frontier adventures, as he studies the animals and their environments to be depicted in the final painting.

Videotaped in High Definition Video (HDTV), each DVD contains additional segments that detail numerous elements of art and illustration techniques, tools, and materials along with invaluable expert tips from Ray Shaw, a genuine ArtVenturer.
