Pollyanna Pickering

Pollyanna is acclaimed as one of Europe’s foremost wildlife artists. The most published artist in the UK, her work sellls in over eighty countries world wide.

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.

Pollyanna has embarked on an ongoing series of expeditions to study and sketch wildlife in their natural habitats.  Pollyanna believes that the unique quality of her work comes from the time spent studying real animals in their natural habitat. Zoos and reference books, are no substitute for experiencing the heat and dust of the Masai Mara, or the biting, vicious cold of the High Arctic. It is this dedication which brings unmistakable realism and vitality to her work.

For fifteen years she also ran a sanctuary to care for and rehabilitate injured British Wildlife.  This close contact with her subjects is reflected in the realism and vitality of her work.

2009 ended on a high note for Pollyanna when she was named ‘Professional Wildlife Artist of the Year’ in the Society for All Artists Artist of the Year Awards.
