DAVID ORD KERR The artist has built up a reputation as one of the leading bird painters in this country, particularly for depicting exotic birds. He has a great following of devoted collectors and his ability to combine accuracy with such wonderful vibrant colours, brings his work to life. Educated at Hertford Grammar School, where he concentrated on zoology, botany and painting. He has always been interested in natural history, particularly in birds and small mammals, and worked for a period as a gamekeeper and then at a small private zoo before he eventually adopted painting as a full-time career. He continued to work as a painter until 1978, when he was a member of the Wallace expedition to the Amazon, working as the exhibition artist producing drawings of fishes for the British Museum and plant drawings to assist with a monkey breeding project at Chester Zoo. On returning to England, he completed a foundation course at the Hertfordshire College of Art & Design, followed by a three year degree course at the Royal Academy Schools, where he won prizes for anatomy drawing and landscape painting. He has been commissioned to paint a variety of subjects for a number of distinguished clients both in this country and overseas.
