Artist: Robert Bateman

Born in Toronto, Robert Bateman has been a keen artist and naturalist from his early days. He has always painted wildlife and nature, beginning with a representational style, moving through impressionism and cubism to abstract expressionism. In his early thirties he moved back to realism as a more suitable way to express the particularity of the planet. It is this style that has made him one of the foremost artists depicting the world of nature.

His honors’, awards and honorary doctorates are numerous: he was made Officer of the Order of Canada, the country's highest civilian award in 1984. He has also been given the Rachel Carson Award (1996), the Golden Plate from the American Academy of Achievement (1998) and the Order of British Columbia (2001), and Human Rights Defender Award from Amnesty International (2007); he was named one of the 20th Century's Champions of Conservation by the U.S. National Audubon Society (1998).

Robert Batemen is a world renowned artist who was the recipient of the Douglas H. Pimlott Award in 2009. He has kindly donated use of selected images to Nature Canada to support our conservation and education efforts.

Through his long association with Mill Pond Press, thousands of wildlife lovers the world over have been able to enjoy Bateman prints.
