Bruce Little

Sculptor

Bruce is a self taught, instinctual sculpture, he sculpts to capture the spirit of the wild African creatures he has observed and guarded for most of his life. His technique captures the essential movement and attitiudes of his subjects. Born in South Africa, Bruce developed an early passion for the African Wilderness through his childhood spent in the bushveld.

He bacame a conservationist and proffessional game ranger, working at the famous private game reserves of Londolozi and Singita in the South African bushveld. For the following ten years he lived on a private conservation project in the the Eastern Cape where he restored Hopewell, a former beef and sheep ranch, to its original state. This included the reintroduction of indigenous wildlife to the reserve.

The twenty years spent in the wilderness has given Bruce invaluable insight into his subjects he holds so dear. For the past 19 years Bruce has worked on sculpting his subjects by focussing less on strict anatomical correctness but more on capturing the deeper meaning of the animals he observes. Bruce says “it is natural of every artist to grow to evolve in one’s artistic journey” and as a result he has started sculpting a series of pieces.

Charlotte Williams

Wildlife Artist

Charlotte is a self-taught, fine art wildlife artist who has drawn for as long as she can remember, but it was living out in the African bush in her 20’s, where the obsession began. She would sit and sketch all that she saw, studying the animals, their behaviour and form and she simply fell in love. Needless to say, the natural world has been her focus ever since.

She is also a passionate conservationist, a signature member of Artists for Conservation, and helps a myriad of wildlife protection agencies around the world by raising funds through her art.

It has long been her desire to bring this breathing, raw, natural world, to a wider audience, to get them a little closer to it and have them connect in a more visceral way.
