About Raven Foster
My work honours the often overlooked - wildlife, women of quiet strength, and the soulful, sensitive presence of the world around us.
I believe art can sofen spaces, open emotional doors, and create pause in a fast-moving world. The right piece does more than decorate a wall. It alters the atmosphere of a room. It changes how we feel within it.
Each artwork is created slowly and intentionally using professional, lightfast materials chosen for richness, vibrancy, and longevity. My watercolours are mounted onto wooden cradle panels to give softness structure, and are sealed with wax medium to protect their surface while preserving their depth.
I do not create quickly. I create intentionally.
Wherever possible, I make thoughtful choices around sustainability and environmental care. From materials to packaging, I consider the long life of the work and its impact beyond the studio.
Art, for me, is about presence. And presence changes how we live.
Through colour, symbolism, and layered mark-making, I seek to give voice to those often unseen - in colour, story and soul.
Whether you are a collector, a quiet admirer, or someone rediscovering creativity for yourself, you are welcome here.
Love & Light
Raven
My Mission
My mission is to create artwork that champions the overlooked, the unseen and the quietly powerful. Through wildlife and fantasy, I paint beings and stories that exist beyond spectacle - work that honours presence, resilience, and emotional truth.I create for those who know what it feels like to exist outside the centre, to move through the world differently, and to find meaning in colour, story and symbolism. Each painting is an act of recognition - a reminder that beauty does not need permission, and that every presence matters.
Eco- Conscious Statement
As an artist, I am deeply committed to balancing my creative passion with sustainable, eco-conscious practices. I use FSC-certified wood for my canvases, 100% cotton surfaces, and eco-friendly packaging materials. For every original painting sold, I contribute to conservation efforts by planting a tree.
I carefully select high-quality, eco-conscious materials, including acrylic paints from Liquitex, Golden, and Winsor & Newton Galeria—brands known for prioritizing safety and sustainability. In addition, I use watercolors from eco-friendly ranges such as Winsor & Newton Cotman and Schmincke Horadam, ensuring that my materials align with my commitment to environmental responsibility.
To minimize waste, I manage my paint water responsibly by filtering and disposing of residues safely, preventing harmful substances from entering the water system. I also upcycle plastic packaging from groceries, repurposing it as art palettes, extending the life of these materials and reducing landfill waste.
Beyond my studio, I support conservation campaigns, such as those led by the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation and the World Wildlife Fund, and seek collaborations with wildlife organizations, eco-conscious art suppliers, and zoos. My aim is for my art to raise awareness for wildlife and environmental conservation, and I continuously strive to improve my sustainability practices as part of my journey to create beauty while caring for the planet.
