“Boss Ross”
Ross Parker (otherwise known as “Boss Ross” in his native Zimbabwe) founded Native Visions Galleries in 1987. With his keen business sense, combined with his love for fine art and incredible eye for talent, Ross has propelled Native Visions Galleries into one of the world’s leading environmental art gallery organizations. Ross’ passion for art is only exceeded by his passion for the African bushveld, which is where you can usually find him in the summer months – tracking both the wildlife and our artists.

Kirsten and Ross share a love in giving back to causes close to their hearts including The Wounded Warriors Project and the Humane Society.
