The son of a late wildlife artist has flown from New Zealand to the UK because he wants his father’s work to receive the recognition he believes it deserves.
Peter Partington, who lived in Kettlebaston, Suffolk, created hundreds of pieces of art dedicated to nature before his death in March 2025.
His son, Jerome Partington, has now created a book to honour Peter’s life’s work and is hosting events in aid of charities that were close to his father’s heart.
Jerome said: “When Dad died a bit out of the blue. I thought thousands of people knew him, but he hadn’t had much recognition. So we created this book, and in a way, Dad’s done all the hard work. He’s painted all these incredible pictures…I’ve just put them together in a way that hopefully tells a story.”
