A love of nature and concern for wildlife are the driving forces behind Lyse Anthony’s art career. Most of her works emerge from experiences during field trips, when she feels inspired to preserve and share a compelling moment.
When painting wildlife, I feel a deep sense of connection with their soul, she explains. My studio has often doubled as a refuge for injured or orphaned birds, baby rabbits, frogs and even a bat.
Fascinated by the fluid properties of watercolors, Anthony has developed an artistic style that melds superb technical skills and rhythmic composition with a keen eye for value and color contrasts.
'I hope to increase public awareness of the natural world and its inhabitants. So often, I feel that the lives of wild creatures are seen as being not as important as our own. Their habitats are violated and their misfortune disregarded, she says. The urgent need to preserve our environment is unquestionably imperative.
