Additional Biographical Information: Peter Elfman

Born 1966. I live near Lund in southern Sweden.

I have a MSc in Chemical engineering. I am a total autodidact and have never attended any art courses.

I mostly work in watercolour and sometimes in oil. In 1991 I was selected as "Bird painter of the year " in Sweden.

In 1998 and 2001 I was selected for "Birds in Art" at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wausau, Wisconsin, US. My paintings have also been selected for the Museum's "Birds In Art Tour" in US.

I have illustrated articles in several Swedish bird magazines and written about bird watching and travelling. In 1996 I illustrated a book for children about the White Stork.
