SWLA President’s Foreword
Welcome to The Natural Eye, the 60th annual exhibition of the Society of Wildlife Artists. Anniversaries are a cause for reflection as well as for celebration. The Society has a lot to celebrate: six decades of exhibiting an amazing variety of work celebrating the natural world, primarily at the annual exhibition at the prestigious Mall Galleries, but also in selected shows at various galleries throughout the country. The Natural Eye is the highlight of our year and from the very beginning the gathering of artists and art enthusiasts has been a space where friendships are made, and new artists are inspired. The informal mentoring: sharing of time and experience and providing encouragement and advice continues, but in the early 1990s the Bursary Scheme allowed for a more structured way of nurturing artists. Since its inception the Scheme has awarded over 100 bursaries, many to individual projects but, at the core of our opportunities, places have been offered on the John Busby Drawing Course. Many of those bursary artists have gone on to become full members and in fact all three current tutors on the course were given bursaries by the Society in their early careers. The exhibition also offers a chance for artists to network and start collaborations and create projects within the wider community of conservation and the arts. The SWLA has been recognised by conservation charities and bodies as a thought-provoking way of partnering art with science to celebrate a project, reserve, or conservation story. In 1999, the first SWLA project Drawn to the Forest took place and through the subsequent years, major collaborations such as the DKM Turkish Sweetgum Project and the BTO Flight Lines Project have been testament to the power of art with conservation. The latest collaboration The Wadden Sea Project culminated in the beautiful book Haunted by the Last Tide which will be celebrated at the exhibition this year along with a display of work from the residencies. I was elected president of the Society in 2009 and somehow or other I find myself still at the helm of this very special community. The SWLA requires a lot of support and help behind the scenes. I would like to thank my fellow artists who volunteer their time whether on council, helping at the Bird Fair, running workshops, creating donated works for fund raising or helping with the website and social media. It takes an army to keep this modest charity going. The SWLA Friends scheme is another part of our community and a way of following the artists’ news and projects whilst supporting our work. It is humbling that so many organisations have chosen to partner with us through the years and I am grateful to all our sponsors past and present for their generosity. I look forward to celebrating many more anniversaries of this wonderful Society, which has, at its beating heart, the creative force of hundreds of artists through our history, all of whom are compelled to document their own experience and vision of the natural world. Harriet Mead, President
A History of the Society of Wildlife Artists
Enter ‘wildlife art’ into any search engine or social media hashtag and you are flooded with images. An explosion of creativity squeezed onto a small screen and held in the palm of your hand - it can be difficult to filter the genuine article from the pastiche; the authentic experience from the fake. Of course, it wasn’t always so. It is sometimes hard to imagine a world when depiction of wildlife was something of a rarity, yet for a long time paintings and drawings of animals were consigned to natural history books or galleries dealing with ‘sporting’ art. Certainly, the original work of wildlife artists was not easily available in the late 1950s and yet this was a time of widespread and growing interest in the world of nature. With a society of artists in mind that might both celebrate and promote this interest, Robert Gillmor and Eric Ennion, with the enthusiastic support of Peter Scott and Keith Shackleton, organised an exhibition of contemporary bird paintings in the Reading Art Gallery in 1960. Maurice Bradshaw, then Director of the Art Exhibitions Bureau – the fledgling institute that would become the Federation of British Artists - joined the organising committee and, as a result, the Bureau took this exhibition on tour for a year. Such was the interest shown by provincial galleries that the tour was extended for a further year, and during this time R.B. Talbot-Kelly and Maurice Wilson joined the organisers to plan a society to build on this interest. They began inviting founder members, and in August 1964 the inaugural exhibition of the Society of Wildlife Artists (SWLA) was held in London and opened by James Fisher. Looking through catalogues to those early shows is like reading a who’s who of wildlife artists and illustrators at the time. Founder members John Busby, Basil Ede, Roland Green, Robert Hainard, J.C. Harrison, Peter Hayman, David Reid Henry (who would bring his hand-reared African crowned hawk eagle Tiara to exhibition openings), James Osborne, Roger Tory Peterson, D.I.M. Wallace, Donald Watson, Eileen Soper, and Ralph Thompson were later joined by other well-known artists Charles Tunnicliffe, David Shepherd and Terence Cuneo (official artist to Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation). Under the Presidencies of first Peter Scott and second Keith Shackleton the SWLA was up and running and going strong. From the start the SWLA’s guiding spirit and chief organiser (officially Secretary and Chairman) was Robert Gillmor. Robert became President in 1984, serving for a further ten years during which the SWLA enjoyed a boom in popularity. Close ties were forged with many conservation groups and new awards were offered to artists from the RSPB, WWF, BBC Wildlife Magazine and The Natural World (the magazine of the Wildlife Trusts). This year we have 10 awards at the exhibition. During Robert’s Presidency, in 1991, the Society of Wildlife Artists became a Registered Charity for the purpose of fostering and encouraging all forms of visual art based on the world’s wildlife. The SWLA would actively seek to generate an appreciation of, and enthusiasm for, the natural world, and advance the (right) A selection of archive material from the very early days of the Society
interest, education, and conservation of wildlife. Robert was always eager to encourage young artists and in keeping with the new charitable aims (and through a sponsorship agreement with Lloyds) a joint Bursary scheme to foster new talent was established in 1993. Since then, over one hundred bursaries of between £150 and £750 have been awarded. With the addition of fundraising, subscriptions from the Friends Schemes, legacies and other monies the Society of Wildlife Artists Bursaries continue to help young and emerging artists keen to develop their knowledge and skills in wildlife art. Bruce Pearson worked alongside Robert during this wonderfully productive period for the SWLA and succeeded him as President in 1994. With ever-increasing numbers visiting the annual exhibition, as well as many charities now opting for fund-raising events held during the show, the links between art and conservation had never been stronger. Away from our annual London exhibition and in pursuit of our charitable objectives, the SWLA embarked on the start of a long and fruitful series of projects working closely with other conservation and wildlife charities. In 1997 a small group of SWLA artists worked alongside the RSPB at Minsmere producing a limited-edition

hand-printed book portraying the birdlife of this showcase reserve. This led to a more ambitious project in 1999, Drawn to the Forest. Supported by the Forestry Commission, four teams of SWLA artists visited Hampshire’s New Forest over the year to portray the changing seasons and nature of this working landscape. Wildlife art was collaborating with the environmental world and Bruce was leading a team of member artists that opened up new directions and possibilities for the society, embracing educational and multi-discipline initiatives. Projects continued during Andrew Stock’s Presidency (2004-2009) with the Aig an Oir residencies inviting groups of SWLA artists to visit several sites along the Scottish west coast, highlighting the fragmented stands of ancient Atlantic oakwood. Harriet Mead picked up the Presidential baton in 2009. The annual show at the Mall Galleries was re-branded and introduced as The Natural Eye exhibition attracting more sponsors for awards, including the imaginative Undersea Art Award from the Wildlife Trusts that invited a chosen artist to learn to dive and portray life under the waves. The programme ran from 2012 to 2016. It was Harriet’s idea to start the Out of the Frame Room, an innovative and inspiring display of unframed work showing both bursary and project work celebrating the tradition of working in the field. The 50th anniversary was celebrated with the publication of Art Book One, designed and overseen by Sarah Whittley. The book was inspired by the Original Artwork Draw, set up in 2010 to raise funds for the Society Bird Illustrators of the Years (London, July 1995).

and bursary scheme through donated small works from members. To date over £50k has been raised through the generosity of our artists. External projects continued and, from 2014 to 2017, the SWLA worked again with the RSPB, conducting four artist residencies to help document the changing environment at Wallasea Island, a new reserve made from the spoil from the colossal Crossrail scheme. In 2014 the SWLA embarked on one of their most ambitious projects to date, with a team of artists working with the BTO scientists following migrant birds to wintering grounds in Senegal, West Africa. The Flightlines project carried through 2015 to cover summer breeding territories in UK and Italy and autumn passage on Bardsey Island. Overseas projects continued in 2016 with the Turkish Sweetgum Project. Four SWLA artists linked up with DKM Turkey to mentor and inspire Turkish artists to work in the field and highlight this rare and threatened habitat in the Mediterranean. The following year a group of artists took part in the Kingcombe residency, celebrating the ancient meadows and woodland of the Dorset Wildlife Trust reserve. Another beautiful project on display in the Out of the Frame Room was the Argyll Hope Spot Project using artists to experience and document the underwater world of this internationally important site on the Scottish coast. Most recently SWLA artists visited the Wadden Sea National Park in Denmark in autumn 2019 and spring 2022, now celebrated in the sumptuous book Haunted by the Last Tide available through our website. The SWLA now encompasses conservation projects, books, studio visits, printing workshops, satellite shows away from London, and our annual stand at the Birdfair – all these perhaps not envisaged by our founder members in 1964. The array of activities goes far beyond our annual show at the Mall Galleries and membership can be thought of as participation in what is one of the most active of all the societies in the Federation of British Artists. In the run up to our 60th anniversary the SWLA held an informal survey of artist members, to help gauge thoughts as we reach another milestone in our history. The common thread was the strong sense of community, friendship, inspiration and admiration between fellow artists and how important the SWLA had been in helping many of those artists throughout their careers. With such a range of artistic approaches, its generous community and shared core values all focussed on personal encounters with the natural world, the Society looks set to continue to inspire for many years to come.

SWLA Friends
The SWLA Friends scheme was set up to encourage involvement from people who have an interest in art and the natural world. Funds raised from the Friends’ support will help to ensure that the SWLA continues to offer bursaries and opportunities for young and emerging artists and will enable the Society to explore new relationships between artists and conservation organisations. In the 30 years since its inception our Bursary scheme has awarded over 100 bursaries to artists who have needed support with a project or help with new skills and techniques for their artistic development. Currently we offer places on the Seabird Drawing Course which is a marvellous way of mentoring artists during an intense course of field working. In addition we accept applications for The Natural Eye Bursary for proposals from individuals who need help with specific projects or skills. The Wadden Sea Project, the Argyll Coasts Hope Spot Project and the BTO/SWLA Flight Lines Project are recent collaborations that show how artists can work with other organisations to help bring conservation and research stories to a much wider audience. With your support we can expand on these opportunities and increase our projects so that the enthusiasm, expertise and talents of our artists go even further. Become a Friend of the SWLA and not only will you be helping to nurture artists inspired by the natural world you will also enjoy the following privileges: 1.

SWLA Bursary
There were four bursary winners awarded a place on the John Busby Seabird Drawing Course in 2023 with a further space given to Shelley Winnett in memory of the late Greg Poole. The course is a hugely important way for artists to develop their practice and build their confidence working in the field alongside tutors Darren Woodhead, Nik Pollard and Kittie Jones. It is always a privilege to be part of the John Busby Seabird Drawing week and this year was no exception. There is so much to be learnt in the six days spent around the diverse and abundant seabird colonies along the East Lothian coast and out in the Firth of Forth. All the students went from strength to strength as they we encouraged not only to look for the anatomical details of the birds, but also shown how to manage their kit in the field, methods for working in all weathers and stamina! We were incredibly lucky to visit John Busby’s studio where we were treated to sketchbooks going back over his entire career and a sense that he had just stepped out for a cup of tea. His legacy lives on through the course, there is so much to be learnt from just seeing how prolific his drawing practice was and after the visit everyone went away with a renewed zest to draw more. There was a fair amount of weather to contend with this year, a great image to go away with was all of the students lined up along the seawall at Dunbar, hunkered under umbrellas, getting excited about capturing the nesting shags on the rocks behind the wall. This year we were lucky enough to encounter feeding minke whales off the coast of St Abbs Head and spend time amongst the puffins and herring gulls on the Isle of Fidra – a unique and unforgettable experience! Kittie Jones SWLA ‘...Scanning the cliffside around me, a scattered group of artists in soggy woollens and waterproofs hunched over their work. Settled into the rhythm of meditative mark-making, everyone was in deep concentration, and few words competed with the cacophony of seabird calls. It was in that moment, I felt an enormous sense of belonging...’ Leya Tess

‘...A big surprise for me on the course was learning to work in all kinds of weather. East Lothian is stunning, but prone to Scottish summertime, which I had not experienced before. Squalls are inevitable, and the Busby bird course does not shy away from a little (or a lot!) of rain. On a particularly tough day at St Abbs when everything I had drawn and painted had literally washed off the page, Kittie kindly pointed out that a) it takes perseverance and grit to be an artist, and that b) my umbrella had completely collapsed, so it was no wonder I was struggling...’ Emily Groves ‘...It’s hard to express how much this drawing course challenges and changes you, whilst enabling your art to grow and flourish. I believe at its core is the unpredictability of working from life, regardless of where you are, who you are with and what your surroundings are, the Seabird course is a complete adventure, one which, given the opportunity, you must throw yourself into...’ Sarah Hutchinson ‘...Surprisingly some of my more successful days drawing were probably under more difficult weather conditions. The battle with the elements was exhilarating. The marks I made were more immediate and had a rawness that would be difficult to replicate in the studio...’ Sarah Innes ‘...Previously I thought I knew how to draw on location, I thought I knew how I drew, but most importantly I thought I only drew what I saw, I thought I drew with honesty, but the biggest shift occurred when I was forced to acknowledge that an element of Impressionism creeps in my drawing when the facts aren’t visible, or the conditions not favourable. This course has made me realise that this approach has no place in my work, I must search and search for the right line, I am a person who wears my heart on my sleeve, and I want my drawing to be no exception...’ Shelley Winnett For full reports of these bursaries and access to the archive of past bursaries visit swla.co.uk

SWLA The Wadden Sea Project
The Wadden Sea straddles the Danish, German and Dutch North Sea coast. A tidal area of islands, mudflats, marshes and dunes. It is of inestimable importance for many bird species on the East Atlantic migration route and is a designated UNESCO World Heritage site. Through history, the landscape of the Wadden Sea has been shaped by those that live there. It is criss-crossed with drains and huge dikes holding back the sea, creating new land and persuading rivers to drain safely through the precious farmland. The Wadden Sea Project, a major collaboration with the Danish Wadden Sea National Park, has made use of the SWLA’s creative resource in spectacular style. Nineteen artists were selected and split between the project’s two residencies, one in the autumn of 2019 in the South around Tøndermasken and the second in the spring of 2022, centred on the island of Fanø. Each group, which also included writer Colin Williams, were introduced to key habitats and areas, observing the landscape and wildlife of this internationally important site. By spending time there, artists brought their own perspectives which celebrated the wildlife and the space, and encouraged communities to look afresh at the place they call home. The artists visited schools in both the North and the South, and invited the public to learn more about the creative process through artists’ talks and open days. The project resulted in over 400 artworks, a wonderful body of work which has been celebrated in two key exhibitions in the Danish Wadden Sea National Park and some of which can be seen in the Out of the Frame Room at the exhibition this year. The spectacular Wadden Sea Project book, Haunted by the Last Tide, was published this summer and is a sumptuous record of the collaboration. The book is a celebration of this unique area and documents a connection between the artists, the community, the landscape and the wildlife. The artwork is bound together by the beautiful Jane Smith SWLA Barnacle Geese, Wadden Sea Screenprint (ed. of 3)

text of Colin Williams who has captured the essence of the place in words and told of the history of the landscape and his own response to spending time in the Wadden Sea. This project would never have come about without the vision and energy of Marco Brodde. Marco’s love of the Wadden Sea and his unique perspective as both artist and conservationist has been a driving force behind the scenes. It has been a pleasure to work alongside him and to be so welcomed by the people of the Wadden Sea. The generous support of the Danish Wadden Sea National Park, the sponsors and the community has enabled an extraordinary book to come to life through the beauty of art and the poetry of words.

Museum and Art Gallery
First opened in 1988, Nature in Art’s growing collection is unique. With work from 60 countries and cultures spanning 1500 years, there is nowhere where you can see such a diversity of fine, decorative and applied art inspired by nature.
Visit and you are likely to see work by a Flemish master, Pablo Picasso, Henry Moore, Jacob Epstein or Graham Sutherland amongst your favourite SWLA and wildlife artists. See work from across the centuries in all styles and media. To complement the displays, a vibrant special exhibition and unrivalled artists in residence programme help bring the genre to life, all supported by other events and courses throughout the year. Find us 2 miles north of Gloucester on the A38 Open Tue - Sun & B.Hols 10am - 5pm. Not Dec 24 - 26. www.natureinart.org.uk
