Art by Karie-Ann

Original wildlife art, Guardian stories, folklore, fragment maps and monthly collector dispatches — created in the Forest of Dean by artist Karie-Ann Cooper.

You may have arrived here from one of my older soft pastel, PanPastel, wildlife art or drawing tutorial pins. The tutorial studio is no longer my main path, but the pastel artwork continues through The Woodland Realm.

If you came looking for an old course, you are not lost. Art by Karie-Ann has grown into a story-led British wildlife collection. Each new Guardian begins as original soft pastel artwork, then becomes part of an unfolding archive of fine art prints, story cards, lore cards, colouring pages and fragment maps.
