Exhibiting Artists

Suzie Seerey-Lester

The Seerey-Lesters have been involved in raising funds for conservation for over 30 years. Suzie and husband, John, both devote a large amount of time every year raising funds for their favorite groups. While both John and Suzie are a team, they individually contribute to the AFC mission of supporting nature through art.

For me, the Subject is the work of art. I am merely enjoying my view of it.

Cindy Sorley-Keichinger

In today's busy world, it helps to stop and smell the roses.  Gives a person a chance to recharge their batteries.  The best medicine for this is a walk in Nature, as found in several studies.  I hope that my work of painting landscapes and Wildlife helps with this; and gets people to notice the world around them.  If people are engaged with the world, they help protect the other inhabitants.

Living in the shadow of the Tucson Mountains I am passionate about preserving the Sonoran desert. An African safari in 2013 inspired me to share my amazing experiences photographing the African landscape and wildlife. Experimentation fuels my creativity. I often choose my medium based on the subject of my art. Watercolor, pencil, conventional or unconventional, my hope is to share my love of nature with others, hoping my art will connect them with nature.

That the word art is right in the middle of eARTh is a stratagem for thought, to instigate Peace.

Tammy Taylor

My art is an extention of myself; always present is a connection to something I know and love. Art is not just my passion but it is an outlet for me to document visually what I am passionate about. It is very important to me that I am accurate in details so that I can create life like images, but also try to capture something in my subjects that is unexpected. Something that personifies the animal in a way that we can relate to, and that will evoke an emotion or memory.

Although in recent times mankind has become more interested in the conservation of wildlife and it's habitat, in many countries there is still only "paper protection". In many cases the population of a species has dropped so low in the wild that it's extinction is inevitable without the aid of breeding colonies set up all over the world at some of the better zoos. I believe the wildlife artist should showcase the lives of these creatures both great and small, encouraging and teaching the young...

Art is my skill to share the beauty of nature and appeal to conserve it.

Welcome to the world of silk and the animated creatures I paint. I love painting on silk, as it is the perfect medium to capture the immense beauty of coastal and underwater habitats. I use my silks to illustrate my environmental children's books. I believe our children are our future and the sooner we can switch them onto the importance of conserving our coral reefs and oceans the better.

Val Warner

Through my art and my attitude, I strive to illuminate or highlight the spirit in all creatures. I have been inspired to draw, study and paint all of my life with the never ending focus on the play of light on the natural world, whether it be trees, rocks, or breathing beings. I live in the Sierras between Sacramento and Tahoe with my husband, Chuck and our two golden retrievers on 5 beautiful mountaintop acres.

Dale Weiler

I look at the stone and myself as dance partners. Sometimes I am leading, other times the stone takes control. It's all about balance and being in touch with yourself and your surroundings. And the precarious balance between our environment and wildlife is the driving force of Weiler Woods for Wildlife, the company my wife, Loti, and I started to support wildlife conservation. All of my sculptures are now being used to raise awareness and funding for causes committed to wildlife protection. 

Rick Wheeler

I'm especailly interested in subjects of natural and cultural history, and enjoy working in a variety of media.

Derek Wicks

"Nature and art have always been the one common thread throughout my life. Conservation has been a concern for me ever since the first sighting of a wild creature in my backyard. Through my work I hope to show the world the wonder I experience daily. My work is for all who care to imagine in a perfect world where nature and man live and thrive together as one."

Terry Woodall

A Nature Artist can open your eyes to things you have never seen before, and to see familiar things in a way you've never done before.
