Every tea order includes a limited-edition postcard featuring work from our partner artist.
Our current featured artist is Martin Aveling (@avelingartworks).
About Martin Aveling
Martin 'Mart' Aveling is one of the nicest people you'll meet. He also happens to be an award-winning artist (2021 David Shepherd Art of Survival Award) and one of the UK's most celebrated and talented wildlife artists.
His clean and contemporary style celebrates the detail in his animal subjects, and negative space is often manipulated to give them environments. Through his drawings, Mart aims to raise the profile of all wildlife around the world and to generate support for its most vulnerable.
From the sale of his art, Mart has helped raise nearly £50,000 for various wildlife conservation charities.
