Wildlife Art Gallery

Katie Hester renders each piece of wildlife art with remarkable precision and skill using colour and graphite pencils. She invites you into the world of these majestic animals with an unparalleled sense of intimacy and connection.  Every meticulously drawn hair seems to radiate with life, as if each one tells a story of the animals journey through its habitat. Her attention to detail is astonishing. You can almost feel the texture of the animals fur beneath your finger tips. She wants you to feel a sense of wonder and admiration for the raw beauty of these animals. Katies use of adept lighting in each piece requires a keen understanding of the principles of light and shadow. Thus inviting the viewer into a realm where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur.  Through her skilful use of colour and composition you are transported into the animals world, letting your own imagination set free to create a background for each piece.  Breaking the boundaries between observer and the observed. We find ourselves immersed in a world of beauty and passion, harmony and interconnectedness.  In this moment you are not merely an observer but a participant in the intricate dance of nature, brought closer to the animal and the world it inhabits through the power of art.  ​ Through Katies original wildlife artworks she aims to ignite a profound sense of reverence for the incredible animals with whom we share this planet.

"Behind each wildlife portrait is a story to be told, to be seen and to be heard." - Katie Hester
