ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This dormouse was rescued and taken to the vets where my wife works. I imagined it in its natural habitat rather than the palm of a hand. The rare hazel dormouse lives in branches in the woodland canopy, descending to ground level in order to hibernate when they sleep for over six months. They prefer deciduous woodland, hedgerows and scrub, and are found mostly in southern England, with a few scattered populations elsewhere. Hazel dormice are rare and vulnerable to extinction in the UK. Their numbers have diminished by over half since 1995. This is probably due to the loss of ancient woodland and hedgerows across the UK. They are a priority species in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan. They are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

Steve Nayar is a painter living and working in Totnes, Devon. He originally trained to be an art teacher at Nottingham, Trent University but after graduating forged an award-winning career in design and advertising. He always had a love of animals and became concerned about the growing loss of the planet’s biodiversity. So that, in recent years he has focused on realistic paintings of endangered species in oils, often head and shoulders, gazing out at the viewer, sometimes imploring, sometimes challenging. His paintings are in private collections in the UK and overseas. He donates a portion of the sale to various conservation organisations and he has been a finalist at the prestigious Wildlife Artist of the Year every year, for the past five years. For several years he has been invited to teach in Mauritius and in 2022, gave a presentation at the prestigious Caudan Art Centre, in the capital Port Louis about raising awareness of wildlife through art. Steve is chair of his local art collective, Totnes and Dartington Open Studios.
