June Payne Hart an English wildlife artist who painted the family cat with thick green paint at the age of three has blossomed into a talented artist who calls Sedona her home since 1980. June was the youngest student to be accepted to study art at the Birmingham College of Art in her native England. Her love for nature and all God’s creatures provided the reason for painting these types of subjects. Her early paintings were sold in the English and European markets. She fell in love with all the beauty of the Southwest, and spent hours sketching the desert wildlife. She has received many awards for her work in native England, Europe and the United States. Her paintings are often sold prior to completion and hang in private collections worldwide, including the British Royal Family. Much of Hart’s art work is licensed to companies for greeting cards, cross stitch, puzzles, and collector Plates, fabric design and various other products.
