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! :)
WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN ME IN A NEW MONTHLY ONLINE ANIMAL DRAWING WORKSHOP?
If you fancy improving your drawing skills, I'd love to have you join me :)
Starting at the end of June, I have a new online monthly drawing workshop (dates TBC) - beginners to more advanced are all welcome! The workshops will be for 2hrs over Zoom in an evening at the end of each month 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.
If you would like to find out more, please click HERE or on the Art Classes and Workshops tab above in the menu.
New in-person art class now running!
Want to improve your drawing and painting skills? I am currently running a fun, relaxed and informative in-person class at my local village hall, here in Wisborough Green West Sussex, every Thursday from 2 - 4pm. If you are a complete beginner, or if you would like to improve your skills, you are more than welcome to pop along for a session (or more!).

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.
