Clinton Banbury’s  career has moved through graphic design and illustration to painting.   Having graduated in graphic design at what is now Lancashire University, his design partnership specialised in children’s books and guides for many national institutions.   His recent move into painting is grounded in twenty years’ experience in design and illustration, as well as his interest in natural history, and his cartoon-like watercolours are full of humour and wry observation. He is a Fellow of the Zoological Society of London and a Member of the Association of Illustrators.
