The guest maker series - Wildlife Art by Hayley

Lisa Standley • 1 June 2023

The guest maker series

Having been a maker myself for 11 years and understanding the difficulties of getting your work in front of the people who want to see it, I always wanted to sell other makers' work on my website.


I plan to introduce you to a new maker every few months. A maker whose work I personally love and think you will too.


I'll curate a small sample of their work and, if popular, will add new pieces throughout the year.


I will buy the pieces upfront, so the maker has the sale immediately and doesn't have to worry about the issues around 'sale or return' situations (damaged, lost or stolen stock).


It will undoubtedly go without saying that there will be a lot of wood, nature-inspired and British wildlife themes!



Wildlife Art by Hayley

Our first guest maker this year is Hayley of Wildlife Art by Hayley.


Hayey is a self-taught British wildlife artist painting predominantly on wood pieces, using the wood's natural features as part of the overall design as often as possible.


Apart from her incredible talent, I love her work because, like me, all the wood she uses comes from sustainable sources, including recycled off-cuts, fallen branches and coppiced woodlands. 

Hayley also prints her most popular paintings on greeting cards and stickers.

With the exception of her printed materials, all her pieces are original one-off paintings signed by the maker herself.


A fantastic opportunity to own an original piece of art.


All the pieces shown are now available on the website.

A question I get asked often is can you paint directly onto wood slices, or do you need to prepare them first?
