My vision for this site

I created this site to bring together International wildlife artists, photographers and craftspeople.  We are all striving for the same thing which is to produce the very best wildlife art in our chosen media and yet it is a solitary occupation so why not create a "niche" where we can share our work, expertise and further promote ourselves.

Selling your art on this site!

If you are interested in selling your work on this site, the easiest way by far is to use the shopit application which is FREE.

1. You need to register then set up your store first on Shopit. Add your products, prices and shipping charge. Disadvantage: You can charge a different shipping fee for each item but only a flat shipping fee is available whether you are sending it locally or internationally.… Continue
