PATRICIA M. MANSELL

Wildlife & Nature Artist

“Painting wildlife has made me look more closely at our natural world and given me a strong desire to preserve our environment and the wonderful animals that share the environment with us.

Whenever possible I paint from my encounters with animals, either in the wild or in wildlife sanctuaries. Having this firsthand experience really helps me translate that interaction into a painting.

When I select each new canvas I decide what story is it that I want to tell in my painting, it maybe a warm family moment or a look of sadness that I want to capture - it will be a moment that has inspired me and made me feel that I just have to paint it.

My objective is to recreate an encounter with our natural world - one that brings that world into your home with you.”

Artist Statement:

My journey as a Wildlife Artist is one of constant learning. No matter where I travel to, I am looking for opportunities – what animals can be encountered in the wild in that area, what birds might be migrating overhead that I could see, what sanctuaries and wildlife preserves are located there.

Choosing subjects, learning about their struggles as a species, developing ideas for how best to paint them are ongoing for every painting - bringing that image out in paint is an absolute joy and so rewarding.
