Graeme Stevenson

Here is a very special episode for the fans of Graeme Stevenson and the Colour In Your Life TV Series. It has been just on two years since dearest Graeme Stevenson passed away. This was the very first episode that Graeme featured in, showing the techniques he used for doing acrylic backgrounds for his paintings. Rest In Peace.
Graeme Stevenson (29/06/1958 - 05/06/2022) began painting and studying animals and even at a young age had a tremendous fascination with the world around him. He began breeding Australian Parrots, and in his teen years took up the ancient sport of falconry. As his interest in art began to grow, he used the birds as subjects for his paintings. After obtaining his pilots license, he began to explore the vast areas of Australia, photographing, sketching, and eventually painting the exotic animals. His reputation as an artist began to grow and his one-man and two-man exhibitions were greatly successful. Graeme then began traveling to other parts of the world to study his subjects and to display his work. Africa, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, Europe, U.K., U.S.A., Mexico, Canada, Alaska and the Middle East, Pacific Islands, were some of the places to which he ventured, receiving offers from publishers who produced his works in limited edition.
In 1988 he was commissioned to produce all of the paintings for the book The Atlas of Parrots, one of the largest editions of its size in the world. This Book is displayed in the New York, Paris and London Natural History Museums. Graeme Stevenson eventually decided to turn his imagination and his art ability in a new direction.
Graeme appeared on the front cover of a number of U.S Art magazines and in 2000 was voted as one of the 25 most influential Artists, by U.S Art. He was also written up in International Artist as a Master Artist for his time. He also paints fantasy and romantic scenes of mother and child.
