Curiously Wild

Beautifully bespoke, art & home ware, made with love in the heart of Somerset.

My beautiful items from Sapphire & Salt arrived today! Gorgeously delicate hand crafted items using plastics sourced from our oceans!

As a company passionate about change and a desire to help conservation efforts to save our habitats and its inhabitants this is a cause very close to my heart. Finding likeminded small businesses and artist with the same passion and drive is so moving, and being able to support those small businesses is incredibly important too!

Please pop my friend over at Sapphire & Salt a follow, they can also be found on Facebook and have so many wonderful, unique pieces 🥰☀️🐋🐢🦈🦀🐠🦑🐚🪸🌊

Hi all!
I will be selling off some of my original art from when I first started painting.
Prices are individual for the pieces and are nonnegotiable, these are some of my finest pieces and have never been used for print meaning they are absolute one off's.
Please message if you are interested. I will not hold paintings.
I would be grateful if you would also share 🥰💖

First up, my Elephant on Canvas. This is just larger than an A3 painting on card, painted in acrylic, sealed and signed. £80 for just the canvas, happy to frame for someone at an extra cost to be confirmed on enquiry.

✨ Pet Portrait commission finished✨
This was my first ever cat commission! And I'm so so pleased with how it turned out, I'm often asked to do dogs, and due to the angles of cats have at times in my practice found them to be tricky subjects. However this painting, came to life, it was a much more gradual process and I took my time so make sure not only the customer was happy, but that I was 100% happy too and I really think the hard work and love that went into it, paid off! 🥰

Wonderful humans doing good 💙🥰

For 13 thousand dollars, Englishman Brandon Grimshaw bought a tiny uninhabited island in the Seychelles and moved there forever. When the Englishman Brandon Grimshaw was under forty, he quit his job as a newspaper editor and started a new life.
By this time, no human had set foot on the island for 50 years. As befits a real Robinson, Brandon found himself a companion from among the natives. His Friday name was René Lafortin. Together with Rene, Brandon began to equip his new home. While René came to the island only occasionally, Brandon lived on it for decades, never leaving. By oneself.
For 39 years, Grimshaw and Lafortin planted 16 thousand trees with their own hands and built almost 5 kilometers of paths. In 2007, Rene Lafortin died, and Brandon was left all alone on the island.
He was 81 years old. He attracted 2,000 new bird species to the island and introduced more than a hundred giant tortoises, which in the rest of the world (including the Seychelles) were already on the verge of extinction. Thanks to Grimshaw's efforts, the once deserted island now hosts two-thirds of the Seychelles' fauna. An abandoned piece of land has turned into a real paradise.
A few years ago, the prince of Saudi Arabia offered Brandon Grimshaw $50 million for the island, but Robinson refused. “I don’t want the island to become a favorite vacation spot for the rich. Better let it be a national park that everyone can enjoy.”
And he achieved that in 2008 the island was indeed declared a national park.

🥰✨Recently finished commission ✨🥰
I always find commissions to be quite tricky, I doubt myself a lot and I don’t often enjoy the process… however in the end I’m always pleased and proud of the final product, and realise… I probably can do commissions quite well!
This beautiful speckled spaniel is one of my latest and I’m really pleased with how it turned out and how my ability to create dimensions has improved. ☺️ we always have room for growth! ✨

My fairy light jars are one of my most popular items by far! I’ve had a few orders before Christmas and this is the last of my jars! However do not fret, I’ll be launching them again in the new year, in a slightly different style jar!
Sometimes I enjoy breaking away from watercolour and jumping into some acrylic… as you can see from my story 😆🤗✨

It was an absolute pleasure to paint this beautiful furr baby for a friend recently and her partner after she sadly crossed the rainbow bridge.

I don’t often paint backgrounds, as depending on the setting it doesn’t always work, however the background really mad her pop, and brought the beautiful textures of her furr to life. I was also asked to change a few aspects from the original photo- no lead and to paint her as she would have been in her younger years, this meant I had to alter my perspective a little and really tap into my imagination, I’m pleased to say my creative instinct served me well and both of my customers were incredibly grateful for the detail, care and love put into this beautiful memorial piece, especially my friends partner of whom this was a gift for, seeing how much it meant to him made me all the more proud of what I do, and even more special that I’m able to share this with all of you! It’s been an absolute pleasure painting her, I hope you all enjoy this visual happiness too 😊🥰🎨

I’m currently working hard on some new digital designs for stickers and prints, I’ve had soo many thoughts about positive messages incorporated into nature recently, hidden powerful messages that inspire the soul! And although I know this piece may not be for some, I’m really pleased with how it’s turned out and I’m hoping it’s relatable!☺️
I’m thinking of adding these to my foil range too! What product would you like to see this design available in?
