Having spent most of his life in Africa, Wildlife Artist Peter Bruce grew up in Kenya's Rift Valley. As an adult, he managed a 120.000 acre game reserve in Namibia, which gave him the rare opportunity to rescue and hand-rear many different wildlife species of animals and birds. He also ran a successful cheetah breeding program. This afforded him the rare opportunity  to have an in depth study of his subjects.

Later he moved to Scotland for six years, where He was Factor for a 45,000 acre Highland Estate. While managing this diverse estate, he was able to  contribute as a conservationist for Scottish wildlife, including red deer, highland birds, and numerous other Scottish species.

Most recently, for the last three years,  he has been  an active artist in Tanzania. This year he moved to Oregon to devote his time and talents as a full time artist.

All of the above experiences have contributed to an in depth knowledge and passion for preserving and painting wildlife.
