Wildlife. Connection. Presence.
I’m Louise, a wildlife artist inspired by those moments when the natural world stops us in our tracks and reminds us of something deeper.
My work explores the quiet pull of the wild - the stillness, wonder and connection that can exist between us and the animals we share the planet with.
Through original artworks and carefully crafted collections, I hope to create pieces that keep that connection alive.
Sketch for Survival 2026
Bidding is NOW OPEN for Sketch for Survival 2026!!
Each year, thousands of artworks of endangered species are submitted to Explorers Against Extinction Sketch for Survival, with the Final 100 selected from entries by artists around the world.
"The Unfurling" portrays Mona, a black-bellied pangolin who was rescued and cared for as a pup before being returned to the wild through the Sangha Pangolin Project. I'm hugely grateful to Tessa Ullmann (The Forest Collective) who kindly allowed me to use her photograph of Mona as a reference image.
I'm delighted to also be included in the very special Sketch for Survival 10th Anniversary Collection. When I was invited to donate a piece to this special collection, there was never any question which piece I would choose.
Sketch for Survival's journey began with elephants, and it feels especially meaningful that "Gathering" will play a small part in celebrating all that Explorer's Against Extinction have achieved in the last 10 years.
“Gathering” is a large original, beautifully framed and ready to take pride of place in a new home. This is a wonderful opportunity to own a very special piece while supporting frontline wildlife conservation.
I’ve donated the artwork in full, so all proceeds will support that work.
You can see both artworks in person here:
Sketch for Survival 2026 Exhibition
18–22 November
OXO Gallery, London
The Big Cat Sanctuary Art Auction
This is their first ever Big Cat Art Competition and I’m thrilled to be shortlisted!
All shortlisted and longlisted artworks are now available to buy in the online auction. Bidding concludes at midnight on Sunday 13 December and all proceeds go to the creation of a new tiger habitat at The Big Cat Sanctuary.
"Laila" was inspired by The Big Cat Sanctuary's resident snow leopard. This portrait continues my "Little Big Cats" series, which has supported the Sanctuary over the past three years. While staying true to the intimate close-up style of the collection, this piece has been created on a larger scale, allowing Laila's extraordinary beauty and piercing gaze to take centre stage.
The piece is both a celebration of Laila and a tribute to the wonderful conservation, welfare and education work carried out by The Big Cat Sanctuary.

Recent Recognition
I'm honoured that my artwork continues to connect with both collectors and the wider conservation community.
"The Return" was shortlisted for the prestigious David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year 2026 and was exhibited at The Mall Galleries, London in September.
The original has sold but beautiful prints are now available with 20% donated to DSWF.
Last year, "Praying for Kelp", raised a record-breaking £5,500 at the Sketch for Survival charity auction - helping raise vital funds for conservation.
All proceeds from the auction supported wildlife conservation projects through Explorers Against Extinction.
Prints of Praying for Kelp are available here with 20% of profits donated to Explorers Against Extinction.
Supporting Wildlife Conservation
In 2025, my artwork raised £7,290 for wildlife causes through original artwork sales, prints and dedicated fundraising projects.
Thank you to everyone who collected, shared and supported the work along the way.
