Wonderful World : Travels with a Wildlife Artist

Wonderful World :
Travels with a Wildlife Artist
with Anna-Louise Pickering
Friday 17 April 2026

From being presented with an orphaned bear cub as a gift on her 21st birthday to being charged by a komodo dragon, for Anna-Louise life working alongside Pollyanna was never dull.
In this light-hearted talk she tells new stories of life and work alongside Pollyanna from her perspective. Not many careers involve requests to organise expeditions to Ethiopia to search for the world’s rarest wolf, or to take a bucket of live toads to a TV studio.
