Charlie Aust was born and brought up in Southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe. A third generation Rhodesian, he spent his childhood years on the family farm and attended boarding schools set deep in the bush of Matabeleland. The unique environment of these formative years led to a deep and lasting attraction for the fauna and flora of Africa, an interest he reflected from his earliest years by drawing and sketching. Today, with the passing of years, and despite having never received any tuition in the subject of art, his simple yet unique and alluring works continue to mirror a dedicated and undying love of the African wilderness and all its creatures, great and small. Having lost his farm to the current Zimbabwean Government, Charlie moved to England in 2001. He lives with his wife Pam and two cats in a Lincolnshire village.
Brian was born July 1958 in
London, England. He is entirely self taught, working mainly with graphite /
coloured pencil, and watercolours. His love of motorsport started when he was a
young boy attending grand-prix meetings at Crystal Palace and Brands Hatch.
Eric Wilson has established himself as one of Britain's leading wildlife artists, a multi-award winner whose paintings are now widely collected throughout the world. His artistic ability was evident from his earliest schooldays; "Eric has an artistic talent way beyond his years" wrote his art teacher in 1967. As a child of Scottish parentage, Eric would spend his formative years roaming the highland mountains of Scotland where his lifelong love of wild places was born. It was natural and inevitable that Eric would combine his talent with his love of wildlife and become a wildlife artist. Accuracy & attention to detail are hallmarks of Eric's work, his adventurous research trips take him to some of the remotest wilderness areas on the planet. In Rwanda and Zaire he has sat face to face with mountain Gorillas, he has been charged by black rhino whilst on foot in Zimbabwe, camped out on the Serengeti plains, canoed the Zambezi and Lake Kariba, tracked tigers on elephant back in the jungles of the Royal Chitwan National Park in Nepal. Seen grizzly bears up close in the Canadian Rockies, swam with Killer Whales off the coast of Vancouver Island and spent literally years exploring the remote Glens of the Scottish Highlands.
