My name is Rachel Toll and I am a watercolour artist based in Devon, England. I love painting and gain much inspiration from the landscapes, wildlife and coasts of Devon and Cornwall.![]()
![]()
Wildlife painting has become a major part of who I am. I strive to capture the essence of the subjects I paint and the eyes of the animal hold a special place in the painting. Once I have the eyes I like to work loosely, leaving much to the viewer's imagination. If people like what I have painted then that makes me very happy.![]()

I also take on commissions and these have presented me with lots of new and unexpected challenges. Find me on facebook, twitter and instagram (links at the bottom of the page) which I regularly update with new work.

“Effective wildlife artivism makes the experience of addressing difficult subjects more palatable, but without compromising on sincerity.” Mart Aveling @avelingartworks adding his #fingerprint to #spottimespottime & #pawprint from Jack 🙂 🐾 #sittingequally #conservationmeanslife #alllife ![]()

Martin Aveling's passion for drawing was born out of his surroundings at a very young age. While his parents were working to protect mountain gorillas on the steep forested slopes of the Virunga volcanoes, Martin picked up pencils and drew them.![]()
![]()
After graduating from the University of Bristol, Mart built his career around his primary passion for art and the natural world. He has exhibited many times in London with the Society of Wildlife Artists and at the DSWF ‘Wildlife Artist of the Year’ award, for which he has been a finalist the past thirteen years, and highly commended on four occasions.![]()
![]()
Mart is a partner artist of the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation and a signature member of Artists For Conservation. In 2021 he won the first ever ‘David Shepherd Art of Survival Award’. Mart has been instrumental in exploring the world of wildlife artivism and its role in environmental storytelling. “Wildlife Artivism is a growing trend in conservation, where elements of fantasy are combined with reality to unearth hidden truths. It tackles the big issues faced by our planet and its wildlife through storytelling embedded in art.” In 2020 Mart established the ‘Ingrid Beazley Award’ - A £5,000 grant designed to help wildlife, stimulate creativity and provide assistance for people suffering with eco-anxiety. ![]()
![]()
Mart is a global ambassador for Derwent Pencils and provided the artwork for their current Pastel Pencil range (his favoured medium for over 20 years). His clean and contemporary style celebrates the detail in his animal subjects, and negative space is manipulated to give them environments. Mart aims to raise the profile of all wildlife around the world and to generate support for its most vulnerable. From the sale of his art, Mart has helped raise nearly £50,000 for various wildlife conservation charities.

I post thís again today with huge honour to celebrate having this inspiring artist #kenloach on #spottimespottime ![]()
![]()
As a child growing up in a #shipbuilding #workingclass town #barrowinfurness in the ‘70’ s Ken Loach and films like #kez inspired hope and a belief that one day I too and many my age could have an education and aspire to contribute to society with a free a valued voice. It was a relief to see a truthful creative expression. As a mother I proudly showed my baby daughter ( 18 yrs ago) a hand print in the pavement at Cannes saying proudly ‘ with art and respect made by this artist - you will have a global freedom’ . As I read the papers over the last few days I made a vow to myself to honour brave artists and keep trying to transcend difference - so we are able to work together towards an enlightened society and respect and love the #environment and #planet we inhabit. Democracy is a pathway we should always tender and I believe it is important to listen with a hopeful and forgiving #heart. I salute you #KenLoach @kenloach_sixteen and I am beyond proud you launched the #artaunifyinglanguage section of #spottimespottime #artists #actors #love #life ![]()

‘ Just learn to let go’ Jason Emrich, The Estate Manager at Knepp who helped Sir Charles Burrell an Isabella Tree kick off the whole rewilding thing twenty years ago at Knepp Castle Estate knepp.co.uk/home @kneppsafaris adding his #fingerprint to #spottimespottime #workingtogether #sittingequally #alllife #artaunifyinglanguage #conservationmeanslife ![]()
![]()
Knepp is a 3,500 acre estate just south of Horsham, West Sussex. Since 2001, the land – once intensively farmed - has been devoted to a pioneering rewilding project. Using grazing animals as the drivers of habitat creation, and with the restoration of dynamic, natural water courses, the project has seen extraordinary increases in wildlife. Extremely rare species like turtle doves, nightingales, peregrine falcons and purple emperor butterflies are now breeding here; and populations of more common species are rocketing.![]()
![]()
The vision of the Knepp Wildland Project is radically different to conventional nature conservation in that it is not driven by specific goals or target species. Instead, its driving principle is to establish a functioning ecosystem where nature is given as much freedom as possible. The aim is to show how a ‘process-led’ approach can be a highly effective, low-cost method of ecological restoration - suitable for failing or abandoned farmland - that can work to support established nature reserves and wildlife sites, helping to provide the webbing that will one day connect them together on a landscape scale.![]()

Knepp is on heavy clay, and it’s always been a struggle to farm here. With the rewilding project we’re still raising cattle and livestock, only now it’s extensive rather than intensive farming – more like ranching, really – and the animals are driving the great positives like biodiversity, habitat and soil restoration. Because we have no goals or targets, and the project is ‘process-led’, Nature is teaching us. We’re on a thrilling journey. The possibilities are endless, and the relevance to conservation and eco-systems services has never been greater. #kneppestate #kneppwildland #rewilding #connection #ecosystems #biodiversity #isabellatree

These photos document the event that on the 13th July 2021 SPOTtimspotTIME had the honour to have a fingerprint 5000 years old on the conservation part of the work. Added to the panel all the fingerprints gathered during lockdown and also today via post and future conservation events will sit on this part of the work. I found this moment incredibly humbling and shall cherish always the significance of reaching across time. ![]()
