My name is Johanna Cripps. I am a wildlife artist working in the beautiful Northamptonshire countryside. I’ve always had a love of nature and am constantly inspired by the birds and animals that live in the woodlands surrounding my cottage in the country.
As a child, all I ever wanted to do was to draw. I would always be doodling or sketching. Art has always been my first love and I am happiest when I am creating an artwork.
My medium of choice is pastels and colour pencils predominantly, but I also explore with oil pastels, acrylics and other mixed media. I am known for my highly detailed animal and pet portraits, which allow me to capture the unique personalities and characteristics of each animal with stunning accuracy and vibrancy.
I was encouraged in art throughout my early years and was awarded distinctions in BTEC Art and Design. I then went on to gain a Bachelors Degree in Interior and Spacial Design at the University of East Anglia and later achieved a Diploma in Floral Art.
