Artist Statement
I am a wildlife artist at heart, drawn to beauty, mystery and vitality of the natural world. Through watercolour, acrylics and soft pastels, I bring animals, and the living Earth to life on a variety of surfaces, while occasionally celebrating the strength and spirit of women within my work.
Each piece I create is guided by my values: authenticity, sustainability, connection, inspiration, magic, and purpose. Being homebound and navigating chronic illness has deepened my understanding of what it means to feel unseen, and the importance of finding beauty in the quiet moments. My art is a bridge - from isolation to engagement, from observation to emotional resonance,
Each brushstroke is an invitation to pause, feel and connect - with the creatures of this world, with the stories they carry and with your own inner sense of wonder, Every original artwork adopted plants a tree and adopts a bee - extending care, life and hope beyond the canvas.
Artist Bio
Raven Foster is a UK-based wildlife artist whose work celebrates the quiet presence, spirit, symbolism of the natural world. Working primarily in acrylics, watercolour and soft pastels, Raven creates paintings that honour animals not simply as subjects, but as living beings with stories, energy and emotional depth.
Her art is shaped by a deep love of nature and a lifelong sensitivity to the subtle connections between humans and the wild world around them. Each piece is created slowly and intentionally, allowing colour, texture, and instinct to guide the process rather than trends or formulas.
Raven's paintings often appeal to those who feel drawn to animals as companions, guardians, or mirrors - people who seek artwork that carries feeling, meaning, and a sense of presence. Her work is not about spectacle, but about connection: the kind that settles quietly into a space and continues to speak long after the first glance.
My Mission
The mission of Raven Foster Art is to create artwork that brings a sense of connection, wonder and meaning into everyday spaces. Through paintings inspired by animals, people and the natural world, Raven aims to offer art that feels alive- art that invites reflection, emotional resonance, and a deeper appreciation for the living world we share.
Each piece is made with care and intention, honouring both the subject and the process, and created for those who value authenticity, craftmanship, and artwork with heart. Raven Foster Art exists to remind us that nature is not separate from us, but quietly alongside us - waiting to be noticed.
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.
