Hello, aloha, hallo!
Welcome to my website. I am a contemporary wildlife, equestrian and nature inspired artist dedicated to promoting conservation through my work with a percentage from each piece going straight back to the many animals I depict. I have a passion for horses, terriers and all wildlife, with Painted Dogs (aka the Painted Wolf or African Wild Dog) being at the forefront of my work. If you would like to have a special commissioned animal artwork painted, please don't hesitate to get in contact with me at heather@heatherirvineartist.com, WhatsApp button below, or use the contact form. I'm here to help! :)
Finalist Wildlife Artist of the Year 2025
For the past 11 years, my work has been shortlisted as a finalist in the prestigious David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year (the 'Oscars' of wildlife art!) My cheetah painting below will be making it's way to London this week, before the exhibition opens on Tuesday 9th September at the mall Galleries, London.

NEW MONTHLY ONLINE ANIMAL DRAWING WORKSHOP - further dates to be confirmed
If you fancy improving your drawing skills, I'd love to have you join me! :)
New online monthly drawing workshops are now available, beginners to more advanced are all welcome! The workshops will be for 2hrs over Zoom and each session will cover a different animal. This will be a fun, constructive and welcoming workshop to help you get over any nerves of 'where do I start?!' and help improve your ability to see and draw our furry friends.

Just for the horse lovers....
Galloping into the spring, are you looking for an equestrian gift, a present for a horse rider, or dressage enthusiast? Look no further as I have lots of lovely contemporary movement based horse paintings and sketches available as Giclee prints in varying standard sizes (worldwide shipping calculated at checkout) all professionally printed in London and waiting to Pegasus their way over to your walls.
If you require a custom size, or have any questions, please just contact me and I will do my best to accommodate your needs :)
In 2020 I created and founded Artists for Painted Dogs a collaboration of wildlife artists from across the globe raising funds for all wildlife through online exhibitions and events on our dedicated website and thus far we have donated over £100,000 to conservation charities. We hope to continue to support projects throughout the world with our artworks.
