John Rigby & Co. is pleased to announce the addition of two distinguished artists, Mike Barlow and Stephanie Latour, to the Rigby Art department, further expanding its carefully curated portfolio of wildlife and sporting art.
Rigby Art celebrates creative talent and storytelling through a diverse range of artistic voices, united by a shared appreciation for the natural world, hunting heritage and the enduring traditions that define Rigby’s identity. The addition of Mike Barlow and Stephanie Latour reflects Rigby’s ongoing commitment to supporting artists whose work resonates with the spirit of adventure and deep connection to wild places.
American wildlife sculptor Mike Barlow brings a lifetime of experience shaped by travel, hunting heritage and classical artistic influence. Having first established himself as an internationally recognised wildlife photographer, Barlow transitioned into sculpture in 2000, creating bronze works that capture the strength, character and presence of wild animals through a timeless and classical lens.
Joining alongside him is self-taught French wildlife artist Stephanie Latour, whose highly emotive animal portraits combine technical precision with a powerful sense of expression. Working across pastel, graphite and oil, Latour’s pieces explore the energy, movement and individuality of her subjects, offering striking interpretations of wildlife and game animals that reflect both realism and emotional depth.
Together, their work adds new perspectives to Rigby Art while reinforcing the brand’s dedication to artistry rooted in authenticity and craftsmanship.
Marc Newton, Managing Director of John Rigby & Co., commented:
“It is a genuine privilege to showcase such a diverse and talented range of artists through Rigby Art. Each artist brings their own unique vision and interpretation of wildlife and the sporting world, yet all share a deep respect for tradition, craftsmanship and the natural environments that inspire us. Welcoming Mike and Stephanie to Rigby Art allows us to continue celebrating the creativity and passion that sits at the heart of our community.”
Rigby Art offers collectors and enthusiasts access to carefully selected works that reflect the heritage, adventure and artistry synonymous with the Rigby name.
