Her passion was nurtured through formal education, culminating in a First-Class BA (Hons) in Fine Art from the University of Gloucestershire—a testament to her dedication and talent.
From Rural Roots to Renowned Wildlife Artist
Hayley’s artistic breakthrough arrived shortly after graduation when her distinctive style caught the attention of galleries. That moment proved pivotal. A sold-out debut exhibition propelled her into the national spotlight and marked the beginning of her rise in the UK’s contemporary art world.
