Peter Partington SWLA  Peter’s early years were spent near Poole Harbour, which proved to have a deep influence on his art. He would escape from school and spend many hours watching birds and the shore-line.

He started sketching at an early age and went on to Art College where he studied all aspects of art. He taught art students for many years until demand for his work encouraged him to pursue painting and
printmaking professionally. He writes magazine articles and his illustrations for books and cards has introduced his work to a wider audience. His book for Harper Collins Learn to Paint Birds in Watercolor was launched at the Tryon Gallery in Cork Street, London with great success. He has followed this with three further books in the Learn to Draw series; Wildlife, Farm Animals and Birds. They are all written with real enthusiasm for the subject and are delightfully illustrated. Recently Peter has illustrated the highly successful The Secret Lives of Birds by Dominic Cousins.

He has had many one-man shows and his hand-coloured dry-points, etchings and water-colours are eagerly sought by collectors. In his paintings he seeks out the effects of light and weather on the landscape and its wildlife. His technique has been described as 'magical'. Intense concentration goes into these, apparently effortless, expressions about the natural world. His interest has turned again to sculpture which he is exploring with great enjoyment

He has been elected to the Society of Wildlife Artists. The International Museum of Wildlife Art has several pieces of his work in its collection.
