Bruce Pearson has been a fixture on the UK wildlife art scene for more than forty years. He is perhaps best known for ‘Troubled Waters’ – a study of the impacts of longlining on the albatrosses of the southern oceans, which he wrote and beautifully illustrated in his distinctive and evocative style.
Charlie went to meet Bruce in his studio in Cambridge, finding a complex and deeply thoughtful man, who is both great company and a naturalist with an in-depth knowledge of the wildlife he paints – both near his home and during his travels around the world. The following conversation took place in January 2019.
