Jonathan Latimer
Jonathan Latimer has been watching and drawing wildlife for as long as he can remember. Having graduated from
Blackpool College in 1998 with a first class degree in Scientific Illustration, he now works as a freelance artist
and illustrator, specialising in natural history subjects. He has worked for many organisations including the RSPB,
National Geographic, Harper Collins, the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh and the BBC. In 2003 Jonathan won the
well-respected Birdwatch Artist of the Year competition, and had his first solo book - Orchards Through the Eyes
of An Artist (Langford Press) - published two years later. When not working on commissions, Jonathan spends as
much time as possible in the field, sketching birds and gaining inspiration for new paintings.
Many ideas are generated close to his Lancashire home, although recent trips have taken him to Romania's Danube
Delta, and Spitsbergen in Norway's high Arctic.
