Cheetah and Cub — Morning Stretch on the Savannah

Welcome — I’m Gareth Parkes, a wildlife artist and photographer. My work begins long before the brush touches the canvas: in the field, watching the quiet moments that most people never see. Dawn light over the estuary, a leopard resting in the branches, the hush before a storm on the coast — these are the experiences that shape my paintings. Photography is my way of studying the wild; painting is my way of honouring it. Every limited‑edition print is created from real encounters, crafted with care, and signed as a record of a moment lived, not imagined. When you collect my work, you’re bringing that atmosphere — that stillness, that presence — into your home.
