Peter Munro
Born in 1954, Peter Munro grew up in the Highlands of Scotland, where he still lives and gains much of his inspiration from the magnificent wildlife and environment which surrounds him. Peter Munro completed an honours degree at the Chelsea School of Art in London but, disillusioned with the art world, decided to return to Scotland to work in his familys timber and forestry business. However, during a visit to Canada in 1985 he was inspired both by the remarkable work of the renowned wildlife artist Robert Bateman and by the powerful, remote and raw Canadian landscapes, to return to the easel and he took up painting as a full-time career in 1987. Concentrating initially upon wildlife work and later upon landscapes and, to an increasing extent, the beautiful golf courses of the United Kingdom and Eire, the demand for his work continued to increase. Particularly well-known in America, where he and his work have been profiled in leading magazines, Peter Munro has now exhibited at prestigious galleries in Holland, London, America, Canada and throughout the world.
