"Bringing the wild beauty of nature into your home - artwork that speaks to your soul”.  Chris G

Step into a world of colour, character and charm.
I’m Chris, an animal and wildlife artist inspired by the creatures around me, from the farm animals in the fields over the hill to highland cows, puffins, foxes, otters and beyond.

Working in oils, acrylics, watercolour and pen, each piece is created to capture emotion, movement and personality — the spirit of the animals we love.

“What You’ll Find Here.”

Art That Makes You Smile

Everything I create is made to spark joy.

Whether it’s the expression of a highland cow, the thoughtfulness of a chimp, or the soulful look in a hare’s eye, my aim is simple — to create art that connects.

Commissions

Looking for something personal?

I offer custom portraits to honour the animals you love most - past or present.

Lets Create something truly special together.

Not all of my work is about grief — but some of it comes from a place of having lived it.

If you’re here for artwork that simply makes you smile, you’re in the right place.

And if you’ve found your way here carrying something heavier, Light Through the Shadows exists for you too.

Everything I create is rooted in connection, compassion and the belief that art can meet us wherever we are.

Light Through the Shadow

“Gentle art-led support for grief, loss and love that doesn’t end.”

-Affirmation Cards for Grief

Created through love and loss, these hand-illustrated affirmation and creative healing cards offer gentle support for those living with grief.

Each card carries an animal guide and quiet words of reassurance — reminders that you are not alone, and that love continues.

There’s more here if you want-
