ROGER TORY PETERSON (1908-1996) was a world renowned ornithologist, naturalist, author, lecturer and artist. His numerous awards are commensurate with his countless contributions to the fields of conservation, natural history and ornithology. His system of field identification made bird watching a world-wide activity. Peterson's bird paintings, based on a lifetime of observation and study, are international standards. Born in New York state where the woods, fields and river edges were filled with birds, young Peterson observed and sketched. As a boy he also read about the giants of nature painting: Durer, Lear, Audubon and Fuertes. He attended the Art Students League in New York and the National Academy of Design. Following college, he taught both art and science in Massachusetts. It was during his time as a teacher that Peterson developed his unique system for identifying birds in the field. In 1934, his first Field Guide to the Birds was published and it turned readers into avid bird watchers. In the years that followed the publication of his first field guide, Peterson traveled the world to paint, write, lecture and to observe and record obscure and exotic species of birds. He was a member of the administrative staff of the National Audubon Society in charge of educational activities and art editor of their magazine. He was art director for the National Wildlife Federation for more than 30 years. He made films in America, Europe, Africa, the Galapagos Islands, Antarctica and the Arctic. Peterson's honors span the worlds of conservation, education, science, literature, natural history, ornithology and public service. His art is in the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum's permanent collection and was exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution. His only commercial gallery exhibition in the history of his long career was at Gallery One in 1983. He died in 1996.
