Born June 29th, 1958 in New South Wales, Australia, Graeme Stevenson began painting and studying animals and even at a young age had a tremendous fascination with the world around him. He began breeding Australian Parrots, and in his teen years took up the ancient sport of falconry. As his interest in art began to grow, he used the birds that surrounded him – his pets – as subjects for his paintings.
After obtaining his pilot license, he began to explore the vast areas of Australia, photographing, sketching, and eventually painting the exotic animals of this land. His reputation as an artist began to grow and his one-man and two-man exhibitions were greatly successful. Graeme then began traveling to other parts of the world to study his subjects and to display his work. Africa, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, Europe, U.K., U.S.A., Mexico, Canada, Alaska, and the Middle East, Pacific Islands, were some of the places to which he ventured, receiving offers from publishers who produced his works in limited edition.
In 1988 he was commissioned to produce all of the paintings for the book The Atlas of Parrots, one of the largest editions of its size in the world. This Book is displayed in the New York, Paris, and London Natural History Museums.
Living in both Australia and the United States, he was able to study the many varied animals of America and to produce a series of paintings that enabled him to explore different ideas and to present work that also has the ability to tell a story of the subjects he paints. Graeme has appeared on the front cover of a number of U.S Art magazines and in 2000 was voted as one of the 25 most influential Artists, by U.S Art, to watch for in the coming decades He was also written up in International Artist as a Master Artist for his time. He also paints fantasy and romantic scenes of mother and child.
