ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2021 Submission

Becoming a wildlife artist began about 15 years ago and changed my outlook on nature as a whole. It made me very aware of how precious and endanger the wild world around us is. I go into the field to photograph most of my own reference material, both the wildlife and the landscape settings. I do a lot of research before beginning a painting so I can to be sure I represent the animal and environment with realistic accuracy. My passion for detail comes from a desire to bring as much of the wild world to life as I can for the viewer.

I have won many national and international awards for my work, and have published in “Stokes of Genius”, Volume 6, “Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine, “Best of Colored Pencil,” Volume Five, Strokes of Genius volume 6, The Artist’s Magazine,” “Southwest Art Magazine”, Art Wanted- “Creative Minds,” “Art Journey Animals: A Collection of Inspiring Contemporary Masterworks,” and the “Wyoming Wildlife Magazine.”
