Anne Bardsley is a wildlife artist based in Oldham, Greater Manchester. As an artist, she’s known for her expressive portrayals of animals, especially endangered species. Over the years, her work has been exhibited in galleries across the UK, including Manchester, London, Leeds, Bury, Lancaster, Shropshire, and most recently, Richmond.

Anne has developed a distinctive style that blends mixed media, pop art, and oil portraiture. Her debut solo show, Wild Encounters (2023), and Wildlife Unleashed (2024) at The Pop Up in Stockport marked key milestones in her artistic journey. Her latest solo exhibition, Untamed Art (2025), continued this evolution with bold new works and a deeper conservation focus.

More recently, Anne has begun using her own reference photos, taken at local farms and conservation focused zoos. This personal approach deepens her connection to the subject matter and strengthens her commitment to wildlife advocacy. She regularly collaborates with local organisations to raise awareness about endangered animals.

As a result of her distinctive style, her paintings have earned national recognition, including a finalist spot in the Artists of the Year 2022 Award. Working from her home studio, Anne continues to explore new styles and materials. Through her art, she hopes to connect with animal lovers and highlight the urgent need to protect the natural world.
