About the Artist

I I am a self-taught artist, but have been lucky enough to have attended workshops both in Montana, USA, and England. During these times I have studied alongside some of today's most famous wildlife artists, the late Bob Kuhn, Robert Bateman, Terry Isaacs, John Seerey-Lester, Alan Hunt, & Rod Lawrence, and not forgetting my mentors in Montana, Jack and Jessica Hines, both the most wonderful artsts and friends.

Through the love of my dogs, Flatcoated Retrievers, I decided that I wanted to give something back to the breed I love so much. So I started producing limited edition prints and currently donate 10% of the proceeds from these to Cambridge Veterinary University for their research and DNA testing into the incidence of cancer in Flatcoated Retrievers and other breeds. So far I have raised over £4.300 through the sale of my prints worldwide.

My work has been exhibited in The Kennel Club, London, Dave Hodges' Gallery in Big Timber, Montana and Bristol.

My cold Cast Bronze sculptures are produced in Somerset, England, to the highest specification. Prints are also produced on high quality watercolour papers using lightfast inks, or stretched on canvas ready for framing.

I am now extending my range of subjects to wildlife, horses, birds & the countryside .

I undertake a few commissions a year, prices on application.

I hope you enjoy my site. Ann Kilminster
