Hi, I'm Waverley, a 29 year old self taught artist from the South East of England. I live here with my husband and my fur babies.

After finishing school, I headed straight into the corporate world however I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember.

I always regretted not pursuing art as a career sooner and believed I had missed my chance until I saw this quote;

"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, but the second best time is right now."

This quote gave me the motivation I needed, so here I am!

My dream is to share my art with the world and at the same time raise awareness for the causes that mean the most to me.

I am a self-taught painter, mixed-media artist, and published illustrator. My work is rooted in a lifelong fascination with the natural world—it's creatures, colours, and quiet stories—which continue to guide both my creative voice and the subjects I return to again and again.

With no formal art training, I’ve carved my own path: refining my style through hands-on exploration, instinct, and an unwavering passion for creating. Over the years, this journey has taken many forms—painting, set design, illustration—and has led to my artwork being showcased in a gallery. Each experience has helped me build a distinctive visual language shaped by curiosity, emotion, and a deep connection to nature.

Animals have always been at the heart of my life and my work, and witnessing how they are often treated by humans has profoundly shaped my artistic purpose. Their vulnerability, resilience, and quiet dignity fuel my need to contribute—however I can—to a kinder, more compassionate world for them.

Through my art, I hope to shine a gentle but honest light on the beauty and worth of the animals we share this planet with. If my paintings can spark empathy, raise awareness, or inspire even a small step toward positive change, then I feel my work is doing what it was meant to do.

Thank you for joining me on my journey.
