Vanessa Grundy and the perfect wildlife artwork

Let’s talk about the best locations where a wildlife artist can get the maximum inspiration. Nantucket National Wildlife Refuge, United States: Most of the wildlife photographers have a fetish for capturing the flight mode of the birds. If you fall in that category, then here is the place for you. Recognized in 1975 for carrying out the national migratory bird management program Nantucket National Wildlife is a great hit among the wildlife lovers. The refuge is cooperatively managed with the Trustee of Reservations. This refugee park is a site for hundreds of migratory birds and Gray and harbor seals. One can also find a variety of gull species here which calls for some stunning pictures.

Finland: Wolverines have an almost mythical reputation, so rare is it to see them in the wild. But we have a tour operator with a secret, one that takes you to a remote woodland cabin where baiting, an admittedly controversial practise, has led to daily visits from wolverines and a very good chance of seeing them from nearby hides. Camera traps, thermal imaging and night vision may all be employed but much of the time you’ll be either in a hide or a vehicle, with little walking involved.

My new supplier going forward is a UK based company that focuses on minimising their impact on the environment, and aims to guide and influence their customers into making eco-friendly choices for their printing. Through this, I am now able to offer products that: were produced by a waterless and chemical free printer; are supplied in only recycled boxes with biodegradable eco-flo packaging as an alternative to polyester ‘peanuts’; contain only 100% recycled paper or paper from sustainably managed forests; use Carbon Offset papers and printed with vegetable oil based inks; and produced by people who recycle 100% of their printing generated waste with none going to landfill!

My fascination for the natural world started at a very early age, and my love of animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. During my senior years at Birkenhead High School for Girls (2006- 2013), I developed a deep passion for drawing and painting, and art became the central focus of my studies. I was truly inspired by wildlife artists such as David Shepherd and Jason Morgan, and wildlife art became the main theme of all my work. See additional details on vlgstudios.com.
