Here at Suffolk Owl Sanctuary, we have always been keen to support local crafts, arts and produce.
We are thrilled to announce that Jess Myers has chosen to display her work in our shop, and made it available for our visitors to purchase. Here is a bit of information from Jess about her work:
Jess at work
“Jess Myers Art originated in 2019 when I relocated from Sussex to rural Norfolk, settling on the edge of the stunning Thetford Forest.
I’ve always had a love of animals and my chosen subject matter comes from a lifelong affection and endless passion for all things furry and feathered. Since relocating, I have found an endless source of inspiration, quite literally, on my doorstep.
I work solely in the medium of pencils, where I strive to create highly detailed and realistic drawings of animals, both wildlife and domestic.
If our national Covid lockdowns taught us anything, it was to appreciate and value nature and the creatures we’re lucky enough to share this planet with. Through my drawings, I hope to do just that.
The original drawings to some of my wildlife pieces will be exhibited in the Beyond the Image Gallery from the 30th June- 30th July. As well as these, I also offer Pet Portrait commissions, the perfect gift to celebrate or remember your furry loved one.
Please visit my website for more details.
Jess has already produced a number of framed prints and greetings cards featuring some of the Owls and other Birds of Prey that can be found living here at Suffolk Owl Sanctuary, and is keen to create a portfolio of work featuring some our other birds. Over the coming months we expect Jess to visit as she photographs our birds to enable her to work on future pieces from her studio at home.
In addition to her drawings, Jess has also produced some wooden signs and coasters using pyrography, which are unique to our shop and been selling very well!
Shop assistant Catherine said “Jess’s work is so life-like and we are very happy to give her a space in our shop. We are sure that our visitors will enjoy her work too, and they make a great gift or memento of a visit to Suffolk Owl Sanctuary".”
