A LONG WAITED COLLECTION OF NEW WORKS BY
THE WORLD'S MOST BELOVED WILDLIFE PAINTER AND CONSERVATIONIST
ROBERT BATEMAN has been hailed as the most
influential wildlife artist of twentieth century. He had his first
one man show in 1967. Since then he has had numerous exhibitions and
sell-out shows in Canada, the United States and abroad and his work
is held in public and private collections worldwide. Ten collections
of his work had been published, and two of his books have made
publishing history by selling more than half million copies. His
lifelong passion for wildlife and nature led to his second career as
an advocate for environmental concerns, a role for which he has
received numerous awards and public recognition. Bateman lives on
Salt Spring Island in British Columbia.
