Vanessa Grundy and the awesome wildlife art

Let’s start with the best places where a wildlife photographer can get the maximum inspiration. Gunung Leuser National Park, Indonesia: Covering an area of 7,927 km, Gunung Leuser National Park is another National Park which has gained a lot of recognition by the people. This exotic national park is named after Mount Leuse. This park is gives you a chance to spot some of the rare and exotic species of this region. So, get ready with your lenses as you will get to see a whole new world of wildlife. You will also find here some rare plants which are not usually found in any other regions of the world.

India: The diverse habitats of Kanha National Park in Madhya Pradesh, composed of grasslands, forests and bamboo bush, are home to around 100 of India’s tigers. You’ll spend most of your time out on safari, so the holidays can be pretty full on. Naturalist guides here have led internationally renowned photographers, so you’re in good company. Kanha can be easily combined with Keoladeo National Park for bird watching, too.

An original painting in acrylics, on a card base. Painted on 26th / 27th May 2019 as an original piece during my 24-hour “Paint for Wildlife” paintathon, one of 19 original wildlife paintings I produced during the twenty four hours. Unframed and unmounted. It measures 21.0cm (8.27 inches) wide by 29.7cm (11.69 inches) high. This will be carefully packed in a study cardboard box. I always try to send items out the next working day after payment has been received, where possible. All items are sent by tracked mail. Read additional details on Wildlife Artwork.

Between now and the 10th of January, all profits from sales made on my website will be donated to the emergency fund at WIRES (NSW Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service Inc.) which is being used to help rescue sick, injured, or orphaned wildlife affected by the ongoing bushfires.

2015 – Teenage Entrepreneur Market, Stoke: I took the opportunity to take a sizeable stand at a busy shopping location in Stoke-on-Trent, where I exhibited and offered for sale many of my original pieces and prints. 2012 – Williamson Art Gallery Spring Exhibition: For this competition, I entered a piece that I had completed whilst at school. Inspired by the artwork of Jason Morgan, I used acrylic paints to depict the majesty of a silver back gorilla. Read even more information on https://www.vlgstudios.com/.
