Commissioned by the national wildlife organisation Natur Cymru – Nature of Wales, this original oil painting was featured as the cover art for the Summer 2012 magazine edition to celebrate the Wildlife Trusts' centenary year.

Captured in rich, vibrant oils on stretched canvas, the piece depicts a lone badger navigating a beautiful field of wildflowers. Badgers are a protected and beloved fixture of the Welsh landscape, found across woodlands, farmlands, and urban habitats alike. This artwork highlights both the quiet beauty of Wales' diverse fauna and the ongoing, vital efforts required to protect these native creatures from habitat loss and persecution.

Badgers are present throughout Wales and are a protected species under the Protection of Badgers Act 1992. They are found in woodlands, farmland, and even urban areas. Whilst they are widespread, they face serious threats from habitat loss and persecution.
