Art that speaks to your soul
Whether you’re searching for a timeless tribute to your beloved pet or perhaps you long to re-live a captivating wildlife encounter
Look no further...
I'm Louise, and I invite you to join me on a journey that celebrates the animals that touch our lives and grace our planet.
Welcome to my world of animal art, where I strive to capture the softness, soul and spirit of the animals that share our lives and inspire our imaginations.
With meticulous attention to detail and a deep emotional connection to my subject, each portrait contains a little piece of my heart and soul.
​
So why not discover the perfect piece that resonates with your soul and brings the beauty of animals into your home?
Embrace the joy of owning a piece of art that captures the essence of your special pet or showcases the awe-inspiring wonders of wildlife.

​​A creative contribution to Big Cat rescue...
​
War is a devastating force, not just for humans but for wildlife too. Innocent animals, caught in the crossfire, become silent victims, their lives upended by chaos and destruction they can’t possibly understand.
​
The Big Cat Sanctuary is stepping in to make a difference. They have currently raised over £350,000 of a target £500,000 to rescue five lions from war-torn Ukraine, offering them a safe, permanent home with the support of International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW).
​
And I'm one of a small group of artists and photographers who have donated their work to support this Big Cats in Crisis campaign.​​
I’ve donated the postcard-sized original artwork of “Mashaba” to the auction, along with these two A5-sized prints ("Kirana" and "Ubuhle").
The original "Mashaba" artwork comes beautifully presented in a professionally hand cut mount, individually selected to complement the artwork.
It’s a small gesture for such a significant cause, and I hope it helps Vanda, Yuna, Rori, Amani, and Lira find the sanctuary they so desperately need.
​
If you’d like to support the rehoming of these big cats and snag a stunning little piece of Big Cat Art or Photography, the “Big Cats in Crisis” art auction runs throughout September.
Broadway...here we come!
I'm thrilled that "Purr-fect Focus" has been selected as a finalist in the Broadway Art Competition!
​
Come and see "Purr-fect Focus" in person
​
It will be part of the beautiful exclusive selling exhibition of 150 works at Theatrebarn in Bretforton (15 mins drive from Broadway in the heart of the English Cotswolds).
The exhibition runs from Friday 27th September – Sunday 6th October 2024, open daily from 11am – 4pm. Entry to the exhibition is free and there is ample free parking onsite.
​
​
​
​
There will be a stunning array of artwork including painting, sculpture, drawing, textiles, jewellery, pastels, ceramics & printmaking. All the artworks are available to buy.
Broadway Arts Festival is an arts charity, so all of the funds raised go towards their outreach projects with local schools, bursaries for local university arts students and the next 10 day art festival in June 2025.
​​
Earlier this year, I was a finalist in the prestigious David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation (DSWF) Wildlife Artist of the Year 2024. This internationally renowned competition and exhibition attracts entries from some of the most talented wildlife artists around the world. It has raised nearly £2 million for wildlife conservation through entry fees, exhibition sales and sponsorships.
​
DSWF, established in 1984, harnesses the power of art for conservation, inspired by its founder, celebrated wildlife artist and conservationist David Shepherd.

About "Infinite Shadows, Singular Light II"
​
“Infinite Shadows, Singular Light II” was inspired by my time with gorillas in the wild. This is what I said about it:
​
“It’s a poignant piece capturing the expressive beauty of the gorilla. Shadow and light symbolise the delicate balance between existence and extinction. I hope it speaks volumes without uttering a single word.”
​
The original sold before the exhibition even opened! I will be launching prints of "Infinite Shadows, Singular Light II" later this year and 20% of all profits will be donated to DSWF.

Wildlife Artist of the Year Finalist
Taking Commissions for 2026
Commissioning an original piece of art from me means more than just owning a beautiful piece of animal artwork.
It's a collaboration, a personalised journey where your ideas and inspirations meet my expertise and passion.
​
I'd love to chat to you about creating a bespoke piece of wildlife art or a special portrait of the pets that share your life.

"We miss Siena so much, she meant the world to us all.
Yet again Louise has produced a marvellous piece of work which has brought so much comfort to us all.
Such talent x"
Mrs Soozy Smith
"There is an aura about the piece that is hard to describe. Painting an animal's likeness is one thing, but capturing their essence is another thing entirely. Louise has successfully achieved both"
