Mouse Macpherson was a quite extraordinarily gifted wildlife artist and a remarkable human being. She had a boundless zest for life. Her infectious enthusiasm, vivacity and passion for nature touched everyone she met. Through her paintings and sketchbooks she left a remarkable legacy, a library of images that reveal the innermost secrets of the natural world. Her paintings sparkle with joy and life, her subjects imbued with rich detail and vivid colour. Born in Suffolk, Mouse grew up on her parents’ asparagus farm. Roaming the East Anglian countryside, she developed her life-long fascination with wildlife. Over the years her pets included: a hare, red squirrels, a chameleon, weasels, several owls and kestrels in various states of repair, a peregrine falcon, a goshawk, a peacock that regularly came into the house, plus all the more normal pets such as cats, dogs and ponies. Insatiably curious, Mouse collected and drew the plants, animals and insects that she found around her. At 15 she left school to attend art classes with Cavendish Morton, an influential local artist who taught her the skills of drawing and painting. In 1957 Mouse had an oil painting entitled “Winter – a still Life” selected to hang in the Royal Academy. She was just 16, the youngest artist since Turner to exhibit at the Summer Exhibition. She could turn her paint brush to any subject but it was always the natural world that was her focus. She sadly died aged 45 in Sri Lanka in a terrorist attack.
