Born in London, Warwick Higgs left college at the age of 21 to pursue his vocation full-time as a painter. Being a keen naturalist, animals and birds provided the main inspiration for his paintings. His first one-man exhibition was in London in 1976. It was a near sell-out and afforded Warwick the first of many trips to the United States, where he found a considerable amount of interest in his work and a good market for his paintings.
Increasing demand for his work has enabled him to support his chosen charities. Warwick comments that "I am constantly aware of how fortunate and lucky I am to be a painter. I love the wildlife that I paint and if I bring pleasure to those who view my paintings, then I feel I have succeeded in my work".
Warwick lives in Surrey where he also has his studio. He has completed numerous commissions for the advertising industry, charities, corporations and publishers and his work is included in collections in Europe, Japan and USA.
The first titles in the 'Images to Make You Smile' series were published in 1995 and were an immediate success with new images being added every year. In 1996 and 1999 Warwick was nominated as a finalist in The Fine Art Trade Guild Awards and in 1997 he won the Best Up and Coming Artist Award as well as the Gift of the Year Award for 'The Owl and The Pussycat'.
