Hi! I'm Mart.

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

Thank you for visiting my online home. This is both my gallery and shop.

My creative interests are rooted in wildlife artivism. I think that when art only ever celebrates the beauty of wildlife it is a bit like only posting about the good times on social media. By also acknowledging 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.
