Tracy Newman: Wetland Wildlife Art Exhibition

Discover the work of wildlife artist Tracy Newman, whose art is deeply inspired by the landscapes, birds and wetlands that align so closely with our mission.

Tracy’s fascination with wildlife began at an early age, growing up near the Welsh border and surrounded by nature. A childhood visit to our main site, WWT Slimbridge, sparked a lifelong passion for drawing and painting ducks, geese and swans , a connection that continues to shape his work today.

Trained at Newport College of Art and the Cardiff School of Art, Tracy has built a career spanning wildlife art, graphic design and illustration. After returning to Wales in 2018, he renewed his focus on painting and drawing wildlife and now also explores sculpture, collaborating with renowned Peruvian sculptor Oswaldo Mierhar. Together, they have produced work for clients and galleries across the UK.

This exhibition brings together a collection of Tracy’s wildlife-inspired pieces, many of which reflect the species and environments found across our sites. The exhibition offers visitors the chance to experience nature through an artist’s perspective.
