About Animal EARTh
Animal EARTh was formed in 2008 by Janet Anne Carden, June Lesley Fox and Julie Horner, after they met at Janet’s Exhibition at Ness Gardens.
The Group formed to promote and encourage animal art in all its aspects and to give animal artists the chance to exhibit a larger body of work in one place than they would normally be able to do. There are limited opportunities for Animal Artists to display their work, and most exhibitions currently available are generally restrictive both in subject matter (Wildlife won’t take domestic animals) and in quantity (Most exhibitions are restricted to a maximum of 3 works – juried.)
Animal EARTh hold an annual exhibition when they invite carefully selected guest artists to join the group in displaying their work at a prestige venue. All aspects of Animal Art will be displayed, from vibrant watercolour to masterly oils, in one spacious exhibition area. Each artist will be able to display sufficient work to showcase their own style and range of abilities. Artists will also be selected whose work is complimentary to each other to give a balanced exhibition.
Delicate butterflies will be displayed as well as Big Cat Studies.
Wildlife will hang comfortably beside portraits of Domestic Animals and Pets.
Country Life will be displayed in Equestrian paintings, and Game birds will be shown as well as Birds of Prey.
In exhibiting work in this way, Animal EARTh hope to bring Animal Art to a wider audience in a more accessible and congenial setting. The Exhibition will cover a range of sizes from large feature pieces to small intimate studies; additionally some artists will be offering for sale more affordable prints of selected pieces.
The First Animal Earth Exhibition at Willington Hall Hotel in 2009 was previewed in Cheshire Life in October 2009.
Cheshire Life featured the Spring Exhibitition at Nunsmere Hall Hotel in their April 2010 edition.
Country and Border magazine which features the events in the marcher counties of England and Wales, featured Janet's work in their April 2010 edition as a prelude to our Spring Exhibition 2010.
