Born in North Wales, U.K. Eric Peake is rated as one of the outstanding bird artists of the day.  Acclaimed internationally, his many years in aviculture has given him unparalleled opportunity to study the subjects which he paints. He has the rare ability to capture the mood and stance of the living bird.  His lifelike works are so incredibly detailed, that in April 1989, one of Eric's original paintings of parrots was presented to H.R.H. Princess of Wales, Princess Diana.  The exquisite texture and warmth of feathers elavates him to the 'cream' of world class bird artists.

  Studying mostly from private breeding collections, he is able to accumulate the essential research to ensure the paintings are technically correct.  It is from this close observation he is able to study the behaviour patterns and bonding of the species he paints.  Although an avian artist most of his life, his work is now dedicated to the parrot species.  He considers himself both a devoted aviculturist as well as conservationist realising preservation especially of the endangered species relies on both working harmoniously together.  Devoted to the birds he loves, he is an active worldwide fundraiser for conservation and research often lecturing on his belief. Donations of his original paintings and limited edition prints have raised over $200,000. U.S. to date with his most recent original painting, 'Spix's Macaw and Young' selling for $23,500. U.S. at the III International Loro Parque Parrot Convention, Tenerife, Spain.  All proceeds were donated by the artist to the Loro Parque Foundation for conservation and research.  His work has supported many other organisations such as R.S.P.B., I.A.S., A.F.A., Belgian Parrot Society, WWF., S.P.B.E., M.A.R.E., World Parrot Trust, International Societies for Budgerigars, Lovebirds, Lories and Amazon Parrots, Parrot Society, North of England Zoological Society, British Bird Council, Scarlet Macaw Project, Guatemala, Liverpool University and University of Georgia, Avian Research.

  Eric's popularity and reputation as an artist, author and lecturer reflect his outstanding artistic talent and dedication to the birds he paints and loves.  His work has been further recognised through special feature exhibitions at the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition. S.C., U.S.A. in 1991 and 1995 specialising in his parrot paintings and a 2 year U.K. Natural History Museum tour on parrots.
