Peter Trusler
Born 1954
With a background in both science and anatomy, Peter Trusler's work reflects his extraordinary eye for detail and his love and celebration of the natural world.
Much of his career has been focused on recreating prehistoric animals for museums both here and overseas, working with scientists to illustrate specimens they had collected and illustrating birds, being one of only two Australian artists to be included in the English publication Twenieth Century Wildlife Artists.
