The Natural Eye 2022

The Natural Eye, the annual exhibition of the Society of Wildlife Artists is held at the prestigious Mall Galleries, London. The show runs from 13th-22nd October and has over 300 works by many different artists inspired by the natural world.

I have a few pieces in the show. Chain Necked Water Rail was inspired from seeing one when I was in the Wadden Sea National Park in Denmark as part of the SWLA collaborative project earlier this year.

I have made a couple of hares for the show as well. Scratch is a smaller piece and Hare on Spade is pretty much life sized.

Scissor Tailed Tern is a sculpture with lots of negative space and made of carefully selected items for a more minimal piece.

Sickle Winged Swift (accidentally catalogued as Scissor Winged Swift) is another piece available from the exhibition.
