His commissions include illustrations for a guide to the birds of India to be published by the Smithsonian Institution, and the Mexican Postal Service has honored him by using four of his paintings for postage stamps, and others (see right) raise money for conservation. |
Anyone who has looked through one of the more recent field guides to North American birds has seen Hans Peeters' work. He painted many of the color plates in The American Bird Conservancy's All the Birds of North America (1997) and, because he is also a working ornithologist, served as a scientific consultant for the book as well. He is author and illustrator of Raptors of California (2005) and Owls of California and the West (2007) (both University of California Press). |

His work has appeared in popular publications such as Audubon Magazine and Architectural Digest, and it hangs in permanent collections of the prestigious Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum and The Peregrine Fund among others. |
Hans paints mammals as well, and is illlustrator and co-author of the field guide, Mammals of California, published by University of California Press (2nd edition, 2004). As a biologist, he acts as a consultant to various government agencies, private firms, and authors. |
