BRUCE PEARSON  SWLA
Painter and printmaker

As a painter, printmaker and field naturalist he has combined all three in a 30-year career as a full-time artist working on a range of  subjects and themes in the Arctic, Antarctica, West Africa, the Caribbean, and North and South America. It is the rhythm and restlessness of the natural world that fascinates, both in wild landscapes and places where people and human activity interact with habitats to create interesting themes. A painting might be completed directly in the field, while volumes of  sketches and studies provide ideas and fresh starting points for  painting and printmaking work in the studio. Since the early 1970s his paintings and prints have been widely  exhibited in the UK and overseas in many group and solo exhibitions. He has won awards for his work, most recently the GMAC Commercial Mortgage  Europe Art award at the Society of Wildlife Artists 2005 exhibition at  the Mall Galleries. He has been president of the Society of Wildlife Artists (1994 – 2004) and recently joined the board of the Artists for Nature Foundation. Prior to that much of Bruce’s work was largely as a freelance illustrator on a wide range of natural history books, magazines and journals, including writing and illustrating An Artist on Migration, one chapter of which - centered in West Africa - was subsequently  filmed and shown on BB2 television in a programme (Beyond Timbuctu) that he presented. For the past 10 years Bruce’s work has largely involved private commissions from individuals, museums and institutions; and by  invitation from the Artists for Nature Foundation (ANF). Bruce has participated in international art events and exhibitions around the world.
