No. 16 – Susan Pollard Gillespie – Designer Footwear (Gannet)

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY:

Susan Pollard Gillespie has been drawing and painting since childhood. She received an honours degree in art and worked for twenty years as a graphic designer and illustrator before becoming a full-time painter. Susan works mostly in oil for its richness of colour and variation in texture. With considered observation she paints subjects she finds beautiful using drawing, light, colour and brushwork, painting from life whenever possible. Animals are amongst her favourite subjects.

#SKETCHFORWILDLIFE: 

Each year, the talented artists who take part in DSWF Wildlife Artist of the Year are invited to participate in #SketchForWildlife.  

By painting or drawing a small image on a postcard it gives visitors to the online exhibition a chance to own a totally unique piece of work, by a highly sought after collection of artists.  

The postcards have always been extremely popular and we hope you will support this initiative which allows more people to own a unique piece of original art, albeit on a slightly smaller scale. The subject and medium of the postcard was entirely up to the artist, with the subject matter being their own celebration of the natural world.   

100% of the proceeds from this sale will support the charitable work of David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation (DSWF) and our ground-based conservation partners across Africa and Asia.
