Welcome to my wildlife illustration website!

Thank you very much for visiting my website! I am an aspiring wildlife illustrator and I hope this website gives you a good idea of the kind of artwork I do. Should you have any questions, please email me at anne@anneyenillustration.com. Please also visit my blog at www.annedrawsanimals.com where I discuss the artmaking process, upcoming events, and the journey of being a wildlife and animal illustrator. Feel free to leave a comment and thank you very much for visiting!

Hello Spring!

No doubt about it, spring has sprung in these parts! And now for a spring inspired painting. Enjoy!

Thank you very much for coming to my art talk/show!

Many thanks to everyone who came to my presentation "Birds: An Illustrator's View" during the On a Wing Family Festival yesterday, Saturday, April 5th in Central Park!! The weather turned out amazing despite a rainy forecast and I had a great time and hope you did to. I shared my artwork on birds and talked about how one can connect to nature through art, how to get started in illustrating birds and other wildlife, and the art making process. I posted pictures on my blog at www.annedrawsanimals.com. Thank you as well to those who couldn't make it but sent their good wishes! I hope to do this talk again, so if you have a forum for me to present a similar talk, please contact me at anne@anneyenillustration.com. Many kids showed up for this talk so I can modify it for either kids, adults or families of all ages.

Thank you also goes to NYC Department of Parks and Recreation, the Manhattan Urban Park Rangers, Central Park Conservancy and the Belvedere Castle staff for making this happen. Special thanks to Sheridan Roberts for asking me to present.

Thank you again and hope to see you soon!

illustrating animals, illustrating wildlife

Having spent significant time outdoors, I draw from observations, memory and other references. I illustrate animals in their natural environments in pen/ink or acrylic. I am pleased to share these examples with you.

illustrations for environmental education

My illustrations are also used for environmental education materials. As an environmental educator and a visual learner myself, I appreciate the role of images and illustrations in conveying environmental concepts to an audience.

I illustrated coloring pages for the Rainforest Alliance's Education Program. These pages are part of their environmental education curriculum, downloadable for free from http://www.rainforest-alliance.org/programs/education/index.html.

Here is an example of a coloring page I did below:
