I was lucky enough to take part in the May 2025 and January 2026 residences of ‘The Heartbeat and Lifeblood of an Alaskan Rainforest’ – a collaboration between Artists for Nature and the Native Conservancy (NC), headed by Dune Lankard, an Eyak elder. ‘The Heartbeat…’ aims to draw attention to the incredible biodiversity of the Copper River Delta region, and the work of the NC in their efforts to ‘protect ancestral land, revive ocean abundance, and support thriving Indigenous communities’. The project consists of four artist residencies, with over 15 artists contributing in total. There will be a book, a travelling exhibition, and a short documentary film.

The Massingham Heath Project saw over thirty Society of Wildlife Artist members follow the seasons and changing flora, fauna and landscape of an exciting rewilding project in West Norfolk. The project records landowner Oliver Birkbeck’s attempts to restore former heathland and establish species-rich meadows on adjacent marginal land. There have been several residencies with workshops, talks, lectures and exhibitions. I was very happy to take part in May 2025.

Klippekroppe was Bornholm’s contribution to a nationwide project called ‘Performing Landscapes’, organized by Metropolis in 2023. I was one of seven artists working together to create a series of performances and installations with the aim of ‘…creating balance and connections between our bodies and the natural environment on Bornholm…’ Click on the image to view the gallery and follow this link for more information on the project.

Walking Landscapes was another art project by Metropolis, that I was invited to take part in, in 2022. Nationwide, over 140 days, 140 artists undertook 12-hour walking trips, where they attempted to connect with the landscape they walked within in a creative or performative way. The walks were livestreamed. I chose to make a series of paintings following the course of Læs å on Bornholm.

‘This ‘Haunted by the Tide’ was a collaboration between the Society of Wildlife Artists and National Parks Vadehavet. It took the form of two residencies (2019, 2022) with over 20 participating member artists in the Wadden Sea area of Southern Denmark, one of the most biodiverse areas in Europe. The project resulted in a book and a series of exhibitions. Click on the image to view a gallery of my work and follow this link for more information on the project.

The Society of Wildlife Artists worked with the RSPB to record one of the most exciting habitat creation projects in Western Europe. Waste spoil from London’s Crossrail project was deposited on Wallasea island raising the ground level by an average of one metre across 1,500 acres and creating a range of new intertidal habitats such as saltmarsh, islands, and landscaped lagoons – transforming the old agricultural land into a diverse nature reserve.  A total of eighteen SWLA artists visited the reserve in 2015 and 2016, creating a unique digital archive of artwork documenting its development.

This was an EU funded collaboration in 2016 between the Society of Wildlife Artists and Doğa Koruma Merkezi (DKM), a Turkish NGO. The aims of the project were: to build cultural bridges through art and nature; to promote and increase the capacity for wildlife art as a tool for conservation in Turkey; and to raise awareness of the increasingly rare patches of endemic sweetgum forests (Liquidambar orientalis). We were four SWLA artists, and over 20 Art school and Biology students from Turkey. Click on the image to view a gallery of my work and follow this link for more information on the project.
