Author bio

Jackie Garner is a professional wildlife artist, illustrator, former education officer at the Nature in Art Museum, art teacher, wildlife fanatic and ex-bird ringer, all of which came in useful when writing The Wildlife Artist's Handbook.

Jackie originates from - and now has a studio in - Gloucestershire, but briefly left the county to train at Medway College of Design in the 1980s. Her first love is drawing, with painting in acrylics or watercolours a close second.

Wildlife Art has taken her to far-flung destinations, such as Egypt and the Falkland Islands. Both venues inspired a series of paintings, leading to solo exhibitions in London.
