Justin Prigmore has a Masters Degree in Ecology and as well as being a painter, has worked until recently in nature conservation for organisations including the Cairngorms National Park Authority and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.

Born in 1974 in Wales, Justin currently lives outside Grantown-on-Spey in the Scottish Highlands with his wife, two daughters and a labrador. Justin has been drawing and painting for as long as he can remember, but it was while living in Colorado in his early twenties, that he re-discovered his love of wildlife.

Travel has always been an essential element of his work. He has spent time in the US, Canada, Alaska, Africa and all over Europe searching for inspiration and studying wildlife in its natural habitat. Justin has exhibited his work internationally in prestigious juried shows, auctions and galleries, including with the Society of Wildlife Artists and at the National Museum of Wildlife Art in the US. He has gained a reputation for dramatic and powerful large–scale paintings and his work can be found is some very prominent collections world-wide.

Awards include the Liniger Purchase Award from the Society of Animal Artists, the Best British Wildlife Award at the National Exhibition of Wildlife Art and the winner of Birdwatch Magazine’s Artist of the Year. He is represented by the world-renowned Rountree Tryon Gallery. He now works mainly on commission but also for the last few years has successfully shown paintings at the Dallas Safari Club and at the Safari Club International in Nashville as demand for his work has steadily increased with clients from America.
