Wildlife Virtual Gallery
June 28, 2021Explore the Outdoors with Wildlife
A Gallery To Explore The World Around Us
Nature has long triggered the perfect state of mind for creativity, prompting us to create new perspectives of the world around us. During the last few weeks, we challenged you to create artwork surrounding the wildlife around you or that inspires you. Together, let’s take a tour of the wildlife artwork created by YOU!
We want to thank everyone who sent in their artwork and their story on how they went out and explored all the wildlife around them.

No matter what your level of skill or artistic ambition, we hope our investigation into the creative cycle has been fruitful. We’ve focussed a lot on the commercial side recently, but it’s vital to remember that creating for your own pleasure is just as important – we don’t all need to strive to become professional artists! As Blythe Scott said in our visual podcast, ‘Living in a world where everyone was creatively fulfilled, would be a great thing’. So as a community, let’s continue to support and encourage each other in all our artistic endeavours, no matter how big or small, each step of the way. Keep making, stay inspired and keep sharing!
