Roger Swainston was raised in the WA wheatbelt surrounded by wildlife and he has drawn and painted since childhood. He graduated from UWA with a BSc in Zoology in 1981 and since then his career as a natural history artist has taken him to some of the most remote locations on the planet. 

 

Roger is now recognised as one of the foremost marine life artists in the world. His work illustrating fishes for numerous  identification guides and scientific volumes is well known to many West Australians and over the past three decades he has created more than 6000 paintings of fishes and crustaceans.

 

His work is held by institutions and private collectors around the world and a panoramic painting of a coral reef ecosystems is now permanently diplayed in the WA Museum.

Roger is presently working on several major projects; drawing, painting and monitoring the environment of the Ningaloo reef, closely following 5 sites there since 2001; and pursuing his goal of painting all the world's Rock Lobsters from specimens. 

 

With his partner Catherine they created the Image Bank ANIMA; an extensive collection of Indo-Pacific marine life illustrations. From his studio in Fremantle Roger continues to create highly detailed life-size portraits of fishes and other marine life and makes regular trips north to work on underwater drawings of the Ningaloo Reef.
