Born in Australia in 1932 and raised in England, Robin Hill developed a passion for the natural world and keen powers of observation in his youth—both qualities that are reflected in his work. His first exhibition of bird paintings, a huge critical and commercial success, in Melbourne, was quickly followed by exhibitions in Sydney, Johannesburg, London, New York, and other cities in Australia and the United States.

A longtime resident of Washington, D.C., he continues to pursue a successful career as one of the world’s most distinguished naturalist-artists. He is represented in the Morris Museum’s permanent collection by more than two hundred paintings.
