Carl Whitfield

Carl Whitfield is a true champion of hyperrealist wildlife art. Completely self-taught, Carl demonstrates a remarkably talent for capturing the natural world with incredible detail. His love of wildlife and the great outdoors is spectacularly translated into magnificent works of art that echo nature’s own beauty and quality.

Born in Leeds, West Yorkshire in 1958, Carl began painting from an early age and after leaving school, pursued a career in commercial management. However, his urge to paint proved too strong and later pursued a career as full-time artist.

Inspired by the work of Leeds artist John Atkinson Grimshaw and Midlands artist Edgar Hunt, Carl’s paintings exhibit sincere devotion and rigorous precision. He enjoys the challenge of creating photo-quality detail in his work.

Carl’s success as an artist is unsurprising. His disciplined application and use of rich, vibrant tones have enabled him to produce unique and treasured works of art and firmly establishing a reputation as a leading British wildlife artist.  His work continues to be a favourite among wildlife collectors across the UK and around the world.

He is married with four children and now lives in a quiet village on the outskirts of Leeds amidst the farms, fields, woods and wildlife that were such an influential part of his childhood and artistic development.
