 Most of these wildlife art images are of pavement or street art, but there's also some permanent works included here.  

Wildlife of all kinds is a common theme in Ulla Taylor's work as you will see by the size of this gallery :) .  Please do what you can to support your local natives- our global treasures! 

The natural world is our inherent life support system.  Many of the subjects depicted here are endangered.  Ulla likes colouring grey city scapes with beautiful nature, but nothing can replace the real thing.  Wildlife of all kinds is a common theme in Ulla Taylor's work as you will see by the size of this gallery :) .  Please do what you can to support your local natives- our global treasures!

Anamorphic Art- changing the shape, and where a picture tells a lie!  2d art is distorted to look like an upright, 3d form.

These illusions work best n camera, as the flat photo or screen  can overcome our natural depth perception.

 

Tasmanian Tiger Sighting!

© Ulla Taylor 2017  Perhaps this should be on my "myths" page - but when one travels in the small towns of Tasmania, anecdotally - these large, carnivorous predators do still roam the bush.  I am a believer, or an optimist.  I created this image from a street image I painted at the Sheffield Mural Festival (with a bit of extra PS on the scenery!).
