Exhibiting Artists

Linda DuPuis-Rosen

If I am able to connect more children and youth with wildlife through art then I have served a real purpose. I hope you enjoy the art and if you wish to contribute to the betterment of nature and wildlife for yourself and those to come, invest in an amazing piece of art from the AFC website.

Mary Erickson

There is a spiritual sense of belonging for me when I am out in Nature. With a childlike excitement, I am awed and inspired by our planet. Paintings are my way of sharing its beauty. As an artist I will leave a body of work that represents my lifelong passion and respect for our environment. I believe there will come a day when the only places we will be allowed a glimpse of true nature will be in the parks and preserves we set aside today. My 39-acre residence in North Carolina is slated to...

James Fiorentino

My main reason for painting nature and willdife art is to educate people about the world around them. At the same time you are also learning about the art of watercolor and the goal is to encourgae people to expereince nature through painting. I raise money and awareness through my art also take part in many conersvation projects. Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ, The Raptor Trust and D & R Greenway Land Trust in Princeton NJ have given me many expereinces in conservation and education.

Lisa Gleim

I have been painting and drawing ever since I could hold a pencil. For me, art is like breathing. I can't imagine doing anything else!  

Marco Grasso

I find nature to be an unlimited source of inspiration. Painting an animal for me it's a way to understand its anatomy, behavior and evolutionary history while having fun!

Patricia Griffin

I am in constant awe of the natural world and the beauty that surrounds me. I am drawn to raw areas that have been preserved from excessive development.  I am at peace in the untamed wilderness.  I am inspired by the life force that connects all things. I travel consistently to fuel my desire to create. My subjects present themselves to me and I am captivated by their essence and compelled to share the intimate experience. My work is the result of 28 years of commitment to observation of my...

Gemma Gylling

From the time I was a little girl I always wanted to create art. My art is inspired by my love and passion of wildlife and animals. The Animals speak to me in a very special way and because of that I try to help them speak to you through my art. I strive to portray the velvet touch of their fur, the sound of their roar or the plight they are living to simply exist. My animal art is created by applying several layers of colored pencil on suede mat board or a sanded surface. Each creation can...

Setsuo Hamanaka

My main concern is saltwater game fishes but I also love other species and their habitat in both freshwater and saltwater. I’m interested in the relation from mountain forests to the ocean, the relation between human activities and the nature.

Guy Harvey

Pamela Haunschild

Being outside in nature is everything to me!  In my paintings, I attempt to capture the essence of nature without copying it exactly.  I want to get past the obvious -- to the essence of why many of us find being outside in nature soothing to our souls.  Whether this is conveying the power behind a falcon’s gaze or the wonder of the vast number and variety of creatures that live in a tide pool, I hope to capture something that will inspire viewers to connect more deeply with the natural world...

Doug Hiser

Nature.  The Natural World.  Everything before man came and covered with concrete and steel.  I am truly alive in the natural world, the jungle, the mountains, the forests, the places where all our millions of different species thrive.  This is the world I strive to live in and use my art to illuminate and share with the many people of the world who revere this natural animal world the way I do.  I create with paint, ink, graphite, sculpture, collage, anything not nailed down, to bring an...

James Hough

 “There is nothing more rewarding than to finish a work and to be able say that it captures that moment in time that was unique in the natural world and that onlookers will observe for the feeling or emotion of the work as well as its correctness. Finding a passion in your life as I have done with wildlife art and pursuing it creates a great deal of confidence in one’s ability and a great sense of fulfillment. I have a great desire to contribute to the long-term preservation of our unique...

Taylor Ivester

My work is here to remind humanity as a collective of the great creatures that share this planet with us. The amount of wildlife in the world is vast and at many times, forgotten. We are all caught up in our busy lives on a daily basis. How often do we stop to appreciate the amount of life on Earth? We should make that time on a daily basis too. 

Stephen Jesic

His extraordinary acrylic painting technique and recent depictions of parrots and macaws has drawn the attention of the Australian fine art materials company Matisse Derivan, the producer of the acrylic paints that Stephen exclusively uses. They now feature his techniques on their bi-monthly internet newsletter and are using his images of exotic macaws in the packaging of their Primary Colour Set of Structure Formula Acrylics and Mediums, soon to be released in the United States.

Hans Kappel

Through my work I wish to create appreciation for the preservation of nature and the environment. I would like to try to promote the conservation of our natural resources in times of fascination with virtual worlds which seem strangely alienated from nature and sterile to me. Real nature, however, is disappearing and, as I see it, often in small steps which go unnoticed.

James Kiesow

David Kitler

We are often told to 'stop and smell the roses.' As a visual artist, David's work reminds us instead to stop and LOOK at the beauty that surrounds us. 'God is an amazing designer; the closer you look, the more there is to see.'

Christine Knapp

Art is an intimate way of communicating a message, feeling or emotion to others. My goal is to spark a fond memory, inspire an idea or enlighten my viewers of the varied subjects I have chosen to portray. Of ultimate interest to me is that special bond that develops between people, animals, and each other. – Christine
