Robin Hill (born 1932) is an Australian artist and writer, living in the United States and specialising in natural history subjects, especially birds. Hill was born in Brisbane, the capital of the Australian state of Queensland, and moved to England with his family a year later, where he lived for the next fifteen years (until the age of 16). He was trained at the Wimbledon School of Art and, after moving back to Australia in 1948, at the National Gallery of Victoria Art School and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. He worked for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation helping to pioneer television documentaries on Australian wildlife with the producer Ken Taylor, as well as producing and exhibiting his paintings.〔(Robin Hill, Artist and Naturalist - biography )〕 Hill moved to the United States in 1971, where he established studios in Virginia and Washington D.C. Since then he has had several exhibitions, including a solo show at the Corcoran Gallery of Art and an exhibition cosponsored by the World Wildlife Fund and the Australian Embassy. He has also undertaken numerous commissions. During the 1970s and 1980s, for example, Hill was commissioned to paint complete sets of American birds—The Endangered Species; The Ducks, Geese, and Swans; The Upland Game Birds; The Birds of Prey; and The Marsh Birds. This series of over 200 paintings is part of the permanent collection of the Morris Museum of Art in Augusta, Georgia, which opened in 1992.〔 ==Publications== In addition to numerous articles in newspapers and magazines, Hill’s publications include: * 1960.
