The art world is not an easy industry to achieve consistent success. But Australian artist Graeme Stevenson has not only succeeded as an acclaimed artist in his own country, but can confidently enjoy the status of international acclaim.
Admired by critics and art lovers around the world, Graeme Stevenson is one of Australia’s finest living exports, with some of his work hanging in the homes of presidents and international celebreties.
Graeme, who knew he wanted to be an artist from the age of five, has stayed committed to his dream. “I always knew I was going to do this one way or another,” he told The Epoch Times. “It has not been an easy journey by any means. I have had good and bad years with my career, but have never faulted on what I wanted to do and where my passion lay in life.”
Motivated by nature and the world around him, Graeme used his childhood pets – a collection of Australian parrots – as subjects for his paintings. After years of refining this skill, he was commissioned to paint the images for The Atlas of Parrots, one of the largest editions of its size in the world.
Being a man of many talents, Graeme obtained his pilot’s licence and, like the birds he painted, was able to spread his wings and fly across Australia and around the world, exploring, photographing and eventually painting the exotic animals of his homeland and other lands.
