Tributes to John Busby – Society of Wildlife Artists

April 23, 2016

“…He was a founder member of the Society of Wildlife Artists (SWLA) and was also External Assessor for Natural History Illustration at the Royal College of Art, 1989-92 and again in 2000.

In 1989 he began a Seabird Drawing course based at North Berwick which has continued every year since, and he has led courses in Switzerland, Crete, the Falklands, Galapagos and at Nature in Art in Gloucestershire.

He took part in projects with the international Artists for Nature Foundation (ANF) in Holland, Poland, Spain, Ireland, India, Portugal, and Israel, and in SWLA/Forestry Commission projects in the New Forest and the Oakwoods in the west of Scotland.

To his great delight, in 2009 he was declared ‘Master Wildlife Artist 2009’ by the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wisconsin – the USA’s most prestigious wildlife art institution…”
