Linda Wilkes

Wildlife and Nature Artist

Born in Plymouth in 1953.

For twenty five years Linda has studied wildlife and it’s habitat in meticulous detail. She tries to include in her wildlife scenes the natural beauty of the landscape in which she gets so much inspiration. Not only does she capture the character of the native wildlife in her paintings but also the landscape, flower and fauna.

Observing, sketching and photographing her subjects, her field studies of nature are a very important part in the accuracy of her highly detailed paintings.

Specialising in British birds and animals, she also studies birds of prey at falconry centres.

She has supported the Wildlife trusts and RSPB at her solo exhibitions for many years donating a percentage of sales to them.

Her work has also been published as greetings cards with “Dolphin fine art” and “Clover Greetings”, and the Barn Owl Trust accepted her design for a Christmas card. She has also won several awards and has collectors throughout the UK and Europe, also the USA. Linda also tutors workshops and has exhibited in various galleries.
