Wildlife Art

"King of Texas"

 

"Brazos Valley Cats"... A mural at Cypress Grove Intermediate School, College Station, Texas

I have always been a wildlife artist.. ever since I took my first art class at age 10. The wilds of America were the home of my childhood imagnation, and where I have learned how to paint. Their inhabitants have been my mentors and inspiration, and I have never tired of studying wildlife. And that is a good thing, as I have been asked to make some sizable wildlife exhibits. The schools of Bryan and College Station, Texas are where the lion's share of them are... there is no surprise then that there is a major university there that specializes in such things as wildlife management and veterinary care, and the public schools there have found these works most fitting.

My largest showcase of  wildlife art is at Harvey Mitchell Elementary School in Bryan, Texas. Five murals, each featuring a life-sized sculpture, illustrate the animals of East Texas, High Plains, Arizona desert, South American rainforest and Gulf of Mexico Sea Life.
