Peter Munro

Peter Munro Biography:
Peter Munro was born in 1954 and he grew up in the Scottish Highlands, where his family ran a timber and forestry company. He came south to complete an honours degree at the Chelsea School of Art in London but soon became disillusioned with the art world and decided to return to Scotland to work in the family business, although he continued to paint on an amateur basis. However, during a visit to Canada in 1985, he was inspired both by the remarkable work of the renowned wildlife artist Robert Bateman and by the powerful, remote and raw Canadian landscapes to return more permanently to the easel and he took up painting as a full-time career in 1987.  >>click here for more
