Guy Troughton is one of Australia’s most respected watercolour artists. Best known for his beautiful bird, wildlife and landscape paintings, Guy’s work captures the spirit and essence of the natural world with a quiet intensity. Imbued with mystery, his paintings have a calm, sometimes surreal quality to them.
A fervent naturalist, Guy has travelled to many countries and spent countless hours seeking out his subjects in the wild. He loves the challenge of painting en plein-air, where everything is unpredictable, as well as in his studio. Guy promotes the medium of watercolour through the prestigious Australian Watercolour Institute (AWI) as well as teaching watercolour classes and workshops – sharing his passion and knowledge with others.
Born in the UK, Guy moved to Australia in 1997 and currently lives near Manly in Sydney with his wife Ellie and their two sons. He has exhibited regularly in Australia since 1997 and his paintings have beenselected for countless major shows and art prizes including the Waterhouse Natural History Prize, the Blake Prize, the Mosman Art Prize and the Salon des Refusés.
Prior to moving to Australia, Guy exhibited in the UK and Europe, while more recently his watercolours have been on show in Mexico, Korea, Taiwan, and China. His paintings are held in many notable collections.
