Wisdom Eagle - Rae Wright Artistry Guelph

Original Art

Each painting begins with a feeling — the quiet awe of standing in nature, the spark of wonder in a creature’s gaze, or the pull of something a little more magical. My original artwork celebrates the wild, the whimsical, and the in-between: from gentle wildlife studies to dreamy nature scenes and fantastical creatures that live somewhere between reality and imagination.

Working in watercolour, pastel, and acrylic, I create pieces that invite calm, curiosity, and connection - all designed to bring a little wonder into your space.

Whether you’re drawn to wildlife that feels alive on the canvas, misty forest scenes that feel like home, or creatures that could have stepped out of a fairytale, each painting is made to capture that quiet, personal kind of magic.

(Originals and prints are available for collectors across Ontario and beyond.)

Wildlife Art

There’s something grounding about painting animals — the steady gaze of an owl, the quiet strength of a fox, or the soft, knowing eyes of a deer. My wildlife art celebrates the spirit of these creatures, capturing the calm, wild beauty that exists all around us but often goes unnoticed.

Working in watercolour, pastel, and acrylic, I focus on creating pieces that feel both lifelike and emotional — the kind of paintings that make you pause and look a little longer. Every brushstroke is intentional, layered to reflect movement, texture, and energy, whether it’s the shimmer of feathers or the softness of fur.

Each piece is inspired by the Canadian landscape and the wildlife that calls it home. My hope is that these artworks bring a touch of the outdoors inside — a sense of connection, stillness, and awe that reminds us how much beauty lives just beyond our back doors.

Fantastical Creatures

Some paintings are born from imagination — creatures that exist somewhere between the natural world and the dream world. My fantastical creature series blends myth, nature, and emotion, giving life to beings that feel at once mysterious and familiar.

From gentle dragons and forest spirits to whimsical hybrids of real animals, these works invite you to see magic in the everyday. Each piece is hand-created in watercolour, pastel, or acrylic, with layers that build light, depth, and story. The goal isn’t realism — it’s wonder.

These creatures often carry small pieces of symbolism: freedom, courage, transformation. They’re reminders that the world is wider and more mysterious than we sometimes allow ourselves to believe. Whether you’re drawn to fantasy, folklore, or simply the feeling of possibility, these paintings are made to spark curiosity and imagination.
