ALAN HUNT (1947- ) Wildlife artist and activist Alan M. Hunt considers himself "a zoologist who paints wildlife." Hunt attended Middlesbrough Art College in Yorkshire and went on to study zoology at Leeds College and Bristol University. After graduation, he worked for several years as a zoologist, eventually becoming the director of the Chester Zoo in Chesire, England. Hunt has worked with birds and animals both in the wild and in captivity, in parks, zoos and wildlife reserves around the world. He has acted as a guide for birdwatchers and naturalists in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and North America. Hunt first learned about wildlife by sketching songbirds as a boy. The rolling moors and marshes near his home were prime habitat for birds from all over Europe, and Hunt's artistic skills developed quickly. After several years of sketching and painting as a hobby, Hunt decided to enroll in art college. But after a year of formal training, he became discouraged by the lack of importance his instructors placed on realistic wildlife art. Hunt began to paint full-time after his artwork began gaining interest. Over the years, Hunt has exhibited his artwork around the world and has gained many honors and awards. His wildlife art hangs in many public and private collections throughout the world, including Holland's prestigious Jacht Museum. With his backgrounds in both art and zoology, Hunt has the advantage of being able to study wildlife from two perspectives - that of scientist as well as artist.
