Ashley Saunders is a self-taught artist inspired by the charm, humour, and character of countryside animals. Living in the peaceful Suffolk countryside, her work captures the personality and gentle spirit of farmyard and wildlife creatures through expressive, loose brushwork. Time spent caring for animals in the Lake District deepened her understanding of their unique traits, and this empathy shines through in every painting and sketch.
Her art often celebrates moments of connection and curiosity—like two hares meeting nose to nose—imbuing her subjects with warmth, humour, and life. Whether in colour or monochrome, Ashley’s work brings the joy and character of the natural world into homes and collections, making each piece a heartwarming delight for animal lovers.
