The Early Years - Graeme Stevenson

Put Some Colour In Your Life, or Colour In Your Life, is a television series created by Master Artist Graeme Stevenson. It began in the small town of Murwillumbah, just south of the QLD border in Australia, and from this incredibly artistic region has spread out to encompass the arts and artists of Australia and the world. About this episodes featured artist - Graeme Stevenson, CEO of Colour In Your Life, was born June 29th, 1958, in New South Wales, Australia. From a young age Graeme had a tremendous fascination with the world around him, and from this he began painting and studying animals. He began breeding Australian parrots, and in his teen years took up the ancient sport of falconry. As his interest in art began to grow, he used the birds that surrounded him - his pets - as subjects for his paintings.

After obtaining his pilots license, he began to explore the vast areas of Australia, photographing, sketching, and eventually painting the exotic animals of this land. His reputation as an artist began to grow and his one-man and two-man exhibitions were greatly successful. Graeme then began traveling to other parts of the world to study his subjects and to display his work. Africa, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, Europe, U.K., U.S.A., Mexico, Canada, Alaska, the Middle East and Pacific Islands were some of the places to which he ventured, receiving offers from publishers who produced his works in limited edition.
