Hi, i’m alicia! a young artist, based in west yorkshire.

For as long as I can remember I have been obsessed with two things; animals and art. Spending my childhood covered in paint or scattering my toy animals around the house, often getting under everyone’s feet. As I got older, the bonds I built with the various animals I encountered, whether it be our pet dogs or those on the farm at which I worked, drove me to create paintings that captured these feelings.

As such, my passion for animals and nature has profoundly shaped my artistic journey, driving me to focus on conservation through my art. I started with acrylics, but soon fell in love with watercolours for their spontaneity and ability to capture the true essence of wildlife. My portfolio now features large-scale paintings and personalised pet portraits, each piece celebrating the beauty of the natural world while raising awareness about the urgent need for conservation. Each piece of artwork is a reflection of my connection to animals and a call to appreciate and protect our environment.

If I’m not found at my desk working on my next painting, you’ll most likely find me glued to my German Shepherd, River. A dog, whom I’ve formed such a special bond with, that it has pushed my passion for capturing these once in a lifetime relationships, further than I could have ever hoped.

I can’t wait to share this journey with you all.

OUR CONTRIBUTION

Donating a proportion of profits from each sale to animal charities is incredibly important to me. Animals have always been a passion of mine, and knowing that every purchase helps those in need fills me with purpose.

Each sale supports local shelters and conservation programs, making a real difference in the lives of animals who need our support to ensure their longevity. I love hearing from customers who feel inspired, knowing their purchases contribute to such important causes.

The choice of charity depends on the chosen subject of each piece, ensuring the commitment is spread across various important causes, targeting both domestic animals and wildlife. This initiative isn’t just a business decision; it’s a heartfelt promise to advocate for those who can’t speak for themselves. I’m proud that, together we’re making a positive impact on animals’ lives, one sale at a time.

So how does it work?

From each painting completed or merch item bought throughout the year, 10% of the net profit value will be donated to the corresponding charity. Should you wish to add an additional donation when you request a commission, please include this in the submission form. All funds will be donated in one payment at the end of the calendar year. The chosen charities are as listed below:

  • Pet Portraits - Dog’s Trust UK.

  • Wildlife Artwork - The World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

  • Farming Life Paintings - The Donkey Sanctuary.

Please note, for bespoke commission pieces that do not fit into the above categories, the customer will be asked to choose which charity they would prefer the funds to be allocated to.
