Art Appreciation: Betsy Siber

Wild creatures in England and beyond, have sparked the imagination of artists for centuries. Recognising  artists who celebrate the natural world, helps us to appreciate unseen ties between art, nature, and conservation.

Betsy Siber is a fun Chicago artist, who often decides to paint something in a theme over 100 days, then posts the prints on social media (birds, animals, houses etc).

By bringing the fun into wildlife art, her paintings are helping to inspire people of all ages to look after creatures other than ourselves.

Her quirky characters are packed with colour, inspired by her history of costume design and making jewellery.
