Bill Beavan (South African/Australian 1944-2005) Bio

Born in South Africa and came to Australia aged 4 He was a self taught artist who has lived on the Mornington Peninsula for most of his life He was a member of Landcare and for many years he was involved with the R.S.P.C.A., helping with the survival of native animals. He held over forty successful exhibitions throughout Australia and overseas. His work is represented in corporate and private collections around the world, including Qantas, Western Mining, The Southern Cross Hotel, Rigbys, James Hardy, BHP and Coolart Homestead.

Bill’s paintings have been published in several books including the beautiful “A Sunburnt Country’, a collection of many of Bills earlier paintings. Bill is recognized in the Dictionary of Australian Artists and has been published in calendars three times. The technique Bill used with paint capturing his subject whether it be a bird in flight or sunlight on a hay shed is eye catching and almost mesmerizing.
