Exquisite texture and warmth of feather are carefully portrayed in
the watercolor paintings by U.K. wildlife artist Eric Peake.
Studying mostly from private breeding collections, he is able to
accumulate the essential research to ensure the paintings are
technically correct. It is from this close observation he is able
to study the behavior patterns and bonding of the species
he paints. Although an avian artist most of his life, his work
is now dedicated to the parrot species. He considers
himself both a devoted aviculturist as well as
conservationist realizing preservation especially of the
endangered species relies on both working harmoniously
together. Devoted to the birds he loves, he is an active
worldwide fundraiser for conservation and research
often lecturing on his belief. Donations of his original
paintings and limited edition prints have raised over
$200,000. U.S. to date with his most recent original
painting, 'Spix's Macaw and Young' selling for $23,500.
U.S. at the III International Loro Parque Parrot
Convention, Tenerife, Spain. All proceeds were donated
by the artist to the Loro Parque Foundation for
conservation and research. His work has supported many
other organizations such as R.S.P.B., I.A.S., A.F.A., W.W.F.,
S.P.B.E., M.A.R.E., World Parrot Trust, International
Societies for Budgerigars, Lovebirds, Lories and Amazon
Parrots, Parrot Society, North of England Zoological Society,
British Bird Council, Scarlet Macaw Project, Guatemala, Liverpool
University and University of Georgia, Avian Research.
Eric's popularity and reputation as an artist, author and lecturer reflect his outstanding artistic talent
and dedication to the birds he paints and loves. So much so he was commissioned in 1989 by the
North of England Zoological Society to paint a pair of Princess of Wales parrots for H.R.H. Princess of
Wales, Princess Diana. His work has been further recognized through special feature exhibitions at
the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition. S.C., U.S.A. in 1991 and 1995 specializing in his parrot
paintings and a 2 year U.K. Natural History Museum tour on parrots.
Currently working on a series of monographs of parrots, Eric devotes much time and attention to
studying his subjects. Released in 1994, 'A Monograph of Macaws and Conures' contained plates
from 40 original paintings. He is presently working on the paintings for the next volume, 'A Monograph
of Amazons'. Collectively the paintings represent some of the finest parrot paintings ever produced.
Although his work demands worldwide travel, the majority of his painting is done in his home country
of North Wales. Working predominately in watercolor he has the rare ability to capture in fine detail
the mood and stance of the living bird. His work hangs in corporate, public and private collections
worldwide. Eric continues to lecture and exhibit with the message ever present that extinction is
forever.
