Sussex nature illustrated cards by Benjamin Fallow

‘I hope people will see my artwork and remember to care for nature!’

We are very grateful to 11 year old Benjamin Fallow, who is selling cards and prints of his artwork in his Etsy shop, to raise money for charity. 

All the proceeds are divided between four environmental charities, with 25% going towards the Sussex Wildlife Trust.

Benji draws and paints from nature, and loves to draw out in the countryside - his mum Nish tells us 'He’s been carrying paper and pens in his backpack since he was three!' 

He’s passionate about protecting nature, and he hopes his artwork will encourage people to care for wildlife.

All the artwork was made by Benji between the ages of 5 and 10.

Nish helps Benji to run the shop. The cards are art print quality, and look great in a frame as a small print. They’re made with quality eco papers and ink, with all recycled and compostable packaging.

International shipping available worldwide Choose card bundles or art prints from the categories in Benji’s Etsy shop. These should give you the option for international shipping.

    I wish that all young people were so devoted to wildlife – and look at how talented this young man is. Gorgeous art work. Wish I lived in the UK! (Do you ship to Canada?)
