  • Olly and Suzi, Olly Williams and Suzi Winstanley, are two British artists who specialise in collaborative painting of endangered wildlife. Olly and Suzi met at Saint Martin's School of Art in London, in 1987, and developed their unique art making technique on an exchange to Syracuse University in New York from 1988 to 1989. Here they decided to graduate with a joint degree, despite protests from the board of directors. At Syracuse, they learned about the Native American Mohawk/Iroquois belief in "animals as brothers" which has been an integral part of their work since then. Olly and Suzi have spent almost 35 years travelling to the most remote parts of the world to paint and photograph wild animals in their natural habitat. Olly and Suzi try to work with biologists, conservationists, and research scientists on their trips, to have the least impact on the animals and to gain a deeper understanding of species they are working with. They enjoy the complexity of mixing art and science and strive to show that the two can coexist and complement one another. On their website, Olly and Suzi have said "Our art-making process is concerned with our collaborative, mutual response to nature at its most primitive and wild. Through live and direct interaction we aim to document the passing of animals, habitats and tribes that are here now but might not be for much longer. We make all our work in response to the natural world from first-hand experience, from ‘ground-truth’. In this way the bush has become our studio." (en)
