Hi! I'm Mart.

A professional artist and wildlife enthusiast, specialising in pastel pencil drawings of wild animals. 

Thank you for visiting my online home. This is both my gallery and shop. I hope you find what you are looking for. If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch.

I am especially interested in wildlife artivism. I think that when art only ever shows animals in a good light it is a bit like only posting about the good times on social media. By also reflecting the suffering caused by humans, we are presenting a more honest narrative for those animals who can't speak for themselves.

My social links are at the bottom. Instagram is probably my online home away from home. I mostly post about the good times.
