As an artist and art teacher, I have always shared a passion for wildlife art. As a teen, I remember reading an article about famed wildlife artist Robert Bateman. He inspired me to create an entire portfolio filled with paintings and drawings of animals. My friend and I would take the train to the Bronx Zoo so we could sketch the animals from life. For this post, I wanted to share my enthusiasm for wildlife art by presenting a list of very talented and local wildlife artists. I selected artists whose focus is primarily on painting or sculpting fish and other sea life. I’ve also provided a link to their websites so if interested in their work, you can seek further information.
