[Biography: David Bennet (1969 - ), born in Doncaster, and like so many other wildlife artists, featured by LOE on this site, from an early age had a fascination for drawing and observing animals and birds. He gained a degree in graphics and illustration at Leeds, and then between 1993 & 95 completed a Masters in Natural history Illustration at the Royal College of Art in London, studying under John Norris Wood and David Boys. In 1992 he became a professional member of the Society of Wildlife Artists (SWLA). Bennet has written and illustrated several books including a number of collaborative projects. He describes his work as "a lively representational and intimately observed response, captured through field sketches and painting, of my travels around the UK." He works in a variety of media including watercolour, acrylic and oil.] Please contact us if you would like to view any of our artwork in person.
