The striking [mixed media images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multimedia-art-installation) feature exotic animals like zebras, stags and a number of birds whose natural coloring has been replaced with acid-bright florescent colors. The London-based artist creates her images using a number of different mediums from paint, pencils and ink. In her own words, the artist says she uses a "[neon color palette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluorescence) to depict the presence of nature in her work, where the animals are God-like, sublime and ethereal in their luminescence." The talented artist obviously gains a lot of her inspiration from the beauty of nature and the natural world. Louise McNaught is a promising young graduate who recently gained a Degree in Fine Art from the [University of Greenwich](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yolo-paint). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Neon Wildlife Art:** The trend of using neon colors to depict nature and wildlife in art. - **Mixed-media Animal Art:** The trend of using mixed media to create colorful and striking depictions of animals. - **Nature-inspired Art:** The trend of artists finding inspiration in the beauty of nature and using it to create unique artworks. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** The industry of producing and selling artwork, where artists can explore new mediums and innovative techniques to create unique works of art. - **Home Decor:** The industry of producing and selling home decor, where neon wildlife art and mixed-media animal art can add a unique and eye-catching touch to any living space. - **Fashion and Accessories:** The industry of producing and selling fashion and accessories, where nature-inspired art can be used to create unique and stylish designs for clothing and accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vibrant Design Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neon-primitivism.md) - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Glass Beaded Intricate Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition.md) - [Almost-Extinct Animal Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fauna-series.md) - [Neon Illuminated Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-and-unity.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Dynamic Public Artwork Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/born-to-be-wild-1.md) - [Hand-Painted Watercolor Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emma-webster.md) - [Neon Illuminated Christmas Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluorescence.md)
