Jeremy was born in Devon, England and drew and painted from an early age. He has always watched birds and animals so this led quite naturally to including them into his paintings. He has had no formal tuition and says that for him, “art is more instinctual and it has been a process full of life and discovery”.
In 1972, his family emigrated to South Africa and he continued
his schooling there, drawing and painting in his spare time. He
exhibited mainly in group shows and in 1985, took part in an exhibition
with a few of South Africa's best known artists.
In 1986 Jeremy moved to Hong Kong with the intention of painting
full time. He painted mostly landscapes during that time and in
1987, exhibited with two other artists at Gallery Colbert in Buckinghamshire,
England. Illustrations of birds and animals went to local books
and magazines. He has had 4 exhibitions in Hong Kong - 2 group
and 2 solo exhibitions.
Moving to Gaithersburg, MD with his wife in 1993, Jeremy started
exhibiting in the USA and has taken part in many regional and
national exhibitions. He has been jured into 2 consecutive Birds
in Art exhibitions at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wausau,
WI. As an elected member of the Society of Animal Artists (SAA),
he has been included in their jured art exhibitions and has won
a number of awards.
His illustrations have gone to the Hong Kong Bird Watching Society,
the Beidaihe Bird Society (China), the American Birding Association
(ABA) and Bird Watchers Digest as well as many other books and
publications. Recent books featuring his artwork are 'The Best
of Wildlife Painting'- North Light Books, 'The Owls of North America'
- The Heliconia Press and more recently, 'Easy Solutions: Color
Mixing - Watercolor' - Quarry Books.
Jeremy spends as much time as he can in the field watching, drawing
and painting landscapes, birds and animals. He is currently represented
by 3 galleries: McBride Gallery in Annapolis, MD; Berkley Gallery
in Warrenton, VA and Broadway Gallery in Alexandria, VA.
