About the artist

Having spent the last 40 years managing large Australian sheep and cattle stations, Chris McClelland has wonderful fondness for the light and colour of the Aussie bush. Through this work and his time in Africa, he has developed a strong understanding and love of animals and their behaviour, that is reflected in his detailed work.

Chris has spent hours studying his subjects in their natural habitat, observing their movements, and noting the interactions between predator and prey. He uses sketches, photographs, video footage and his well-honed powers of observation as a reference to accurately portray the behaviour and anatomy of his animals. He draws them with such fine detail that each of his drawings can take up to 350 hours.

Coming from the land and pioneering stock himself, he believes that the spirit of the Australian bush and the African Bushveld is a part of him, and he finds it easy to become one with it. Chris is now receiving many awards in Australia and on the international stage for his extraordinary detailed wildlife drawings using of graphite and coloured pencils.
