Based in rural Pennines, Esther is a photographer and mixed media artist who tell stories of the wild at heart capturing the beauty and fragility of wild and rare horses in their natural world. My artwork is inspired by my passion to reveal the very essence of the freedom and peace they evoke – with conservation at the heart of her work. Photographing horses is a way of life for award-winning photographer Esthe. She, for most of her career, has dedicated her time to photographing horses and other animals. Esther’s considered approach toward her subjects and artwork allows her empathy and understanding of horses to shine through. Taught at Swansea University, her education in sculpture, printing and photography combine in her mixed media photo-encaustic work. All her work uses archival fine art papers, printed by hand and professionally crafted. Her limited-edition photography can be purchased on her online gallery, seen at exhibitions or by private appointment. Esther also provides help and support with regular fine art photography workshops to people of all ages. Horses inspire Esther’s photography on many levels with her work renowned for capturing all their beauty and grace. This has also extended into animal advocacy. Working alongside animal charities – ACE, HAPPA and the RSPCA – Esther is proud to have created artwork raising awareness of animal welfare issues.
