North London Hospice was thrilled when Matt Lucas sent us an owl design and we knew we had to have it as part of the trail. We commissioned Donna Newman, one of Wild in Art’s sculpture specialists, to bring Matt’s owl to 3D life. In Donna’s realisation of Matt’s Owl, she tried to capture the sense of vibrancy and fun from his design. The sculpture is a real explosion of colour, featuring a kaleidoscope of feathers.
Donna Newman is the artist behind Eden-Designs Murals. Working with schools across the Midlands, she seeks to inspire young people by transforming their learning environments with her vibrant artwork. A fine art graduate from Coventry University, Donna responds to clients with creativity and flair producing original, playful designs in a wide variety of subjects.

Grand Auction
Did you know that at the end of the trail all of the large owl sculptures are auctioned to raise money for North London Hospice? The smaller owls – our owlets – are returned to their forever homes with their school or community group.
