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.
This is 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.
I Drew the Wrong Elephant!
After floods swept through Elephant Nature Park in Thailand, Nicola — a former volunteer — reached out to share that one of the elephants lost was Faa Sai.
I began a drawing to honour her.
But when it was finished, we learned I hadn't drawn Faa Sai.
It was Mintra. Another elephant. Another rescued soul - one who survived the storm.
That mistake became a turning point — and the beginning of something we hadn’t planned: a tribute to them both, one in form, one in spirit.
And a fundraiser for the sanctuary that gave them safety, freedom, and peace.
Unwritten Courage is a drawing born from loss, carried by connection, and offered in hope.
Supporting the life-changing work of Save Elephant Foundation — with 100% of profits from every print, card, and the original artwork going directly to the sanctuary.
Exhibitions, Festivals & Open Studios
Come and Say Hello!
This summer you can see me and my artwork in person, explore some wonderful events I'm taking part in... and maybe even watch me draw live.
You’ll also find Unwritten Courage — the drawing at the heart of my fundraiser — with signed prints and cards available to support rescued elephants.
Supporting Wildlife Conservation
Together, we’ve made a difference...
Last year, my artwork raised £1,416 for wildlife causes through sales of original pieces, prints and special conservation fundraisers.
Your support - whether by bidding on a piece, purchasing wildlife prints, or generously paying above my rates for commissioned portraits - directly contributed to these efforts.
Thank you!!!
Wildlife Artist of the Year Finalist
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! The good news is that prints of "Infinite Shadows, Singular Light II" are now available in my website shop with 20% of profits donated to DSWF.

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.
Mrs Su Tanzillo
"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"
Mrs Joanne McNeil
"Oh my gosh - that made me cry - that is absolutely stunning!!!!”"
