Jonathan Truss

JONATHAN TRUSS has always had a fascination for wildlife and his early career as a professional musician and actor complimented his love of oil painting. His paintings are sold and collected around the world.

His enthusiasm for his subjects and the never ending exciting trail for new reference extends to regular trips, camping under canvas in the incredible game parks of Botswana, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia.

He is establishing himself as one of the countries leading Wildlife Artists and has many of his Wildlife paintings published by top U.K. fine art publisher Solomon & Whitehead as limited and open edition prints. With a rapidly growing number of collectors of his work, the limited edition print "Siberian Siesta" sold out even before they were signed! Four or Five S&W limited editions are planned for 2003.

He continues to work with the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation and has several of his animal paintings published by them and in particular this year his painting "The Pony Club". Jonathan can be seen demonstrating painting techniques at some of David's shows in the U.K.

He has been featured in many magazines and was recently featured on a B.B.C. holiday programme. Last year he teamed up with Movie Media Productions Ltd a UK production company to make light entertainment programmes with Jonathan behind and in front of the camera for UK and foreign markets.

Jonathan is a professional wildlife artist passionate about the animals he captures on canvas and a member of the prestigious organization "The Society of Animal Artists" in New York.
