Vegan Traders Union: Vegan Art

We are fans here of Vegan Traders Union with a whole exciting wealth of fellow vegans in business. In this edition of Plant Powered Planet Magazine we thought we would take a look at some of the incredibly talented arty vegans that are members of the VTU. Whether you need to buy a gift or fancy treating yourself it doesn’t get better than supporting and buying from a fellow vegan! From stunning original art work to tiny teddy bears there is something here for all tastes and budgets.

Art by Lynda Bell

Stunning original artwork from Lynda Bell – painted in New Zealand and loved all over the world.

My goal is to inspire people to care for animals and to remember that they are sentient beings, in need of our love, care and protection. I think about what the earth would look like if there was no cruelty or exploitation - no farming or hunting or testing on animals. My paintings are stories, in which people are heroes and heroines for the animals, because people can in fact be just that, in real life.

Spyder Thread

Jo Hards is a self representing artist based in South Wales. She is best known for Gothic style, button eyed, cloth art dolls.

My dolls have been described by many as ‘creepy cute’ for their dark, yet innocent anthropomorphic charm. My paintings and illustrations feature similar subject matter and often fall within the realms of pop surrealism.

Ethics have always played an important role in Jo’s art. As an ethical vegan, she does not use any materials or tools of animal origin.

Creepies

Creepies is a small handmade business run by a family of vegans since 2013.

They make a range of handmade, unique monsters called the Creepies. Each creepy is hand sculpted by Laura (Mrs. Creepy) and baked solid.

No two Creepies are the same and each creepy comes with a certificate of creepthenticity.

Beary Tales

Lynn Smith is an award winning bear artist. She creates one of a kind miniature collectable teddy bears and animals. They are all completely hand stitched, 5 way jointed and weighted to allow them to sit with ease.

Lynn’s creations are approximately 3.5” small and created from quality vegan materials.

Victoria Petchey

Victoria mainly paint portraits of animals and she also create artworks that focus on women, wildlife, nature and animal exploitation.

I enjoy creating art that challenges our own personal feelings and ethics on particular subjects and request humans to think about such topics; environment, plastic pollution, women’s history and achievements, animal abuse and exploitation.

The art materials Victoria uses are vegan friendly and she use minimal paint to avoid waste.

The Vegan Potter

Handmade unique ceramics created with vegan clay and glazes from The Vegan Potter!

All my pottery is made with products and use processes that do not use any animal products. Some “china” has beef bone meal in it, up to 70%. I can assure you that mine does not.

Items can be for your human family or your animal family.
