Inspired by her childhood colours of Africa, Jos Haigh swapped a career in science for the love of art. Jos is an avid supporter of wildlife conservation, and she is passionate about the wonderful wildlife in this world. She has developed a captivating style as a wildlife artist and paints in vivid saturated colours that accentuate the particular character of an animal. Jos really enjoys the fluidity and merging of colours that can be achieved with watercolours. She has a particular affinity with Kenya, the place of her birth, and paints African wildlife with watercolours – typically elephants, giraffes and zebras.
