POLLYANNA PICKERING

​

Pollyanna is acclaimed as one of Europe's foremost wildlife artists. The most published artist in the UK, her work sells in over eighty countries worldwide. She is patron of the Wildlife Art Society International, and the University of Derby recently awarded her an honorary degree in recognition of her outstanding achievement in the arts. A familiar face on TV, the most recent documentary about her work Made in England was broadcast on BBC 1. In 2012 she was awarded the most prestigious International Award in the field of Wildlife Art - The Artists for Conservation's Simon Combes Conservation Award, recognizing support for conservation through artistic excellence.

Pollyanna is passionate about wildlife and equally passionate about accurately interpreting her subjects. She is a champion of environmental conservation, both on the national and international stage, and is an indefatigable campaigner for the welfare of endangered, sick and vulnerable creatures

"The longer I work I work with animals the more fascinated I become by their beauty, and also their complex and fascinating social structures. When I travel I am able to experience the natural world in all its beauty, danger and drama. It is only through the first-hand study of animals and their habitats that I am able to paint in a way which communicates my love and respect for our remarkable, awe-inspiring but ultimately fragile world."
