Robert Gillmor

Ornithology and painting have been Robert Gillmor's principal interests since boyhood and he is now considered one of the foremost bird artists of his generation.

His work has appeared in over 100 books, and he has held exhibitions in the UK, USA and Kenya. He is a founder member of the Society of Wildlife Artists and, having served as its first Secretary, then Chairman, is now its President.

Robert Gillmor is always seeking fresh inspiration in the field as he believes in studying birds in their natural environment. His sketches made throughout the world provide the basis for his paintings and illustrations in many media. Many of his pictures have been used by the RSPB, BTO, The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust and other organisations.
