Craig Roberts was born in the West Midlands, England in 1967. From an early age he showed a natural flair and talent for art. Using the medium of black and white pen and ink, much of his early works focused on British wildlife and birds of prey.

Self taught in his trade, Roberts enrolled at Walsall College of Art & Design and studied graphic design, spending his early career in advertising.

Seeking inspiration from Alan Hunt and subsequently meeting him for the first time at the Wildlife & Conservation Exhibition in 1999 at the Halcyon Gallery, Roberts set out in earnest to fulfil his dream to become a professional African Wildlife artist and contribute to wildlife conservation.

In 2003, Roberts was chosen to exhibit his work at the Mall Galleries (London) in the prestigious 'Not the Turner Prize' competition hosted by the Daily Mail, raising his profile in the industry.

Turning professional in 2004, Roberts work is escalating in popularity with unprecedented sales of his first four limited editions.

Keen to use his talent to promote wildlife conservation and bring the plight of endangered species to the attention of the wider audience, he has embarked on a collaboration with the Born Free Foundation making a contribution from all future editions to benefit conservation efforts worldwide.

Early 2005, Roberts will be embarking on a trip to Africa with Stephen Mills (BBC Wildlife Film Maker / Photographer) to the Serengeti & Masai-Mara. Taking the opportunity to gather reference material, photographs and field sketches for future works.
