Wild Developments Studio, led by talented artist and conservationist Lauren Connolly, is a creative platform dedicated to inspiring appreciation for the natural world. With a background in marine biology and various nature-related certifications, Lauren combines her artistic vision with a commitment to environmental advocacy. Her vibrant work has been showcased in exhibitions throughout Ohio and has earned numerous awards.

At Wild Developments, we provide immersive experiences that help individuals reconnect with nature. Offerings include nature journaling, Earth and Easel events, colorful hand-painted pet portraits, and conservation-focused photography. Our goal is to raise awareness about conservation while fostering personal connections to the environment.

Our pet portraits are renowned for their artistic flair and emotional depth, with each piece taking 6-8 weeks to complete. Additionally, Lauren utilizes her skills as a drone pilot to capture breathtaking visuals for conservation initiatives, such as deer surveys and invasive species monitoring, and as a podcast host at "Wild Developments" interviewing people with passion for nature.

Our studio beautifully intertwines art, conservation, and storytelling, encouraging everyone to slow down, appreciate their surroundings, and take action to protect the natural world.
