Terence Lambert

Terence Lambert is a British wildlife painter. His work has been reproduced in more than forty publications.

Terence is married to a school headmistress/principal and has four daughters, one of whom, Kate "Kato" Lambert, is a successful model and fashion designer in the United States.

Career

Born in 1951 in Farnham, Surrey, Terence studied at Guildford College of Art in Surrey. His career began in the early 1970s with his illustrations for ''Collins British Birds'', where he was quickly recognised as an important new talent in the world of ornithological painting.

In 1984, he spent two months in spring and autumn in the Himalayas working with the World Pheasant Association. That same year he travelled to Oman researching a project commissioned by Shell Oil Company, producing six paintings which were then gifted to the Sultan of Oman.http://www.birding.uk.com/directory/artists/terence-lambert Past projects have also taken him on expeditions across Africa and North America.

Exhibitions

Major collectors of his work include the McCartney's and the Astor family. Since Terence's first solo exhibition in London in 1972, he has continued to exhibit his work annually throughout Great Britain. In the 1980s and 1990s his works travelled in Northern Europe and the United States with sell-out shows in both London and Wales. His work has been selected for many of the world's most prestigious wildlife exhibitions, including The Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wisconsin, US and the inaugural show of the Society of Wildlife Art for the Nation at the Guildhall in London. In 1999 the Welsh Arts Council funded a major retrospective exhibition that travelled throughout Wales.

His repertoire of medium has extended from watercolour to include mixed medium on paper and canvas, huge pencil drawings and a unique method of working with ink on scraperboard.
