MEET OUR ARTISTS
Last but certainly not least…
🎶 Twin sisters @pipandrach work together as an illustrator collective. They have painted over 45 sculptures for public art trails across the UK!
🎶 @reillycreative is the artistic husband and wife duo Kieron and Lynsey Reilly and have been painting for Wild in Art trails since 2015!
🎶 Sally Adams @theduckorator has worked on Wild in Art projects since 2013. With a background in prop making and Fine Art degree in sculpture, she naturally lends her skills to altering the object prior to painting – hence her incredible transformation of a guitar into Tiny Tim the giraffe!
🎶 @sammorrisartist is an artist and illustrator whose projects range from large scale community projects, illustrated books to immersive paintings.
🎶 Sarah Nash @bruleeminx_creations started her creative journey through jewellery making. She discovered a love for bringing sparkle to sculptures through Herd in the City, her first Wild in Art experience, and has gone on to rhinestone multiple pieces since then.
🎶 @thomaswolskiart is a contemporary British artist whose media involves intricate freehand illustration and drawings, working these directly on to curio, sculptures and antiques.
🎶 Tim Sutcliffe @liltimmytentoes is an artist and illustrator who has worked on several Wild in Art projects over the last ten years including seven in 2025 and has completed 57 sculptures!
