Matt Patterson 
As far back as I can remember I have always had the same two interests, wildlife and art. I loved the outdoors growing up and in my free time I was either out fishing, searching for turtles and snakes or I was painting.

Observing birds and their habits is a way to discover more about their nature – the motions a Sandhill Crane makes during preening, the way a Golden Eagle walks along the ground. Each of these actions means something for the bird and it is these behaviors and their meanings that I want to convey to the viewer.

Betsy Popp
I like spending as much time as possible out of doors hiking and biking and taking in the scenery. My art is influenced from my time spent watching and studying those things which I encounter when taking on one of my outdoor adventures.

"Nature is naturally inspiring. It is medicine for the soul. Nature is part of each of us whether we embrace it or not. As a wildlife artist, my goal is to touch a part of the soul that only nature can achieve. Something real, something organic and something that touches the heart."

My aim is to accurately portray my subjects and to highlight the beauty and majesty of our amazing wild cousins, to help build a connection between the viewer and the natural world.

I believe a naturally wild landscape is the greatest form of abstraction, and as such, it cannot be truly recreated or transferred as an image: it can only be captured in the emotions it stirs within us.

In my paintings and participatory projects, I mainly focus on the environment and the threatening behavior of humans against animals and nature. Environmental disasters are often hidden behind the routines of our daily lives. As the extent of these disasters and destructions increases, they become less visible.
In my works, animals are symbols of lost lives that play a multifaceted role. They are both narrator and part of the narrative. The animal is an element that draws itself out of the...

In all my works I aim for a sense of realism and expression that captures the subject matter as it was when I experienced it. I try to replicate the feeling imparted through the experience as it appealed to me, whether that be simplistic or complex. I find Nature has so much to offer and unfortunately, more often than not, these offerings go unacknowledged, taken for granted, or are simply not understood. I feel that through traditional tonal realism painting and realist art, there is...

My style has been described as hard-edged yet soft, sensitive yet powerful. I think this is possible because of the position I have chosen along the scale between abstraction and realism.

Carleen Ross
While I create I realise that I need to believe that I am capable of accomplishing anything I put my mind to. By finding this truth within myself and facing my fears and standing up to my little self, I can create something beautiful for others to see. It is this beauty that others look upon that helped me find the internal peace and the ability to see more of the beauty that exists within myself.

Len Rusin
Len Rusin's inspiration to paint nature developed while backpacking through several northeastern states, Florida, Canada and Alaska. Using his field notes, sketches and photographs during these excursions he captures the feeling of being a part of nature.
