ARTIST: Cameron Bird
RESIDES: British Columbia
BIOGRAPHY: Cameron Bird has grown up with a passion for the outdoors. He began his career with sketching, which he continues to this day as reference for his larger studio oils and acrylics. His formal art training took place at Emily Carr College of Art and Capilano College where he studied commercial art; as well he completed studies in professional sign painting.
Each year Cameron gathers reference for his work while fishing, camping and hiking in the mountains and outdoors. A particular interest for Cameron is to carry his paint box with him and capture the subjects first hand.
Having studied many artists from history, Cameron is drawn to the work of the Illingworth Kerr, Maynard Dixon, Emily Carr, Carl Rungius and in particular Canadian artist Keith C Smith. Cameron studied with KC Smith for over ten years. KC helped Cameron find the knowledge and courage to produce work of power and simplicity. KC always taught him to simplify and make each brush stroke count. Cameron has always admired the use of bold color and heavy impasto.
Cameron worked as a pack horse guide in the mountains to provide him with the first hand material and reference for his paintings. He believes this experience in the wild gives his work an added authenticity and true appreciation for nature.
Cameron has been painting professionally since 1989 and full time since 1999. Cameron has had many one man and group exhibitions and is represented in a number of art galleries. He currently lives in the interior of British Columbia with his family and continues to capture and explore the wild and its animals.

ARTIST: Collin Bogle
RESIDES: Kirkland, Washington, U.S.A.
Born in 1973 in the picturesque Pacific Northwest region of the United States, Bogle’s artistic journey began at a young age, inspired by the rich natural beauty that surrounded him. The son of a renowned American artist, Collin learned the concepts of technique, composition and design from his father, Lee Bogle, later refining his skills and setting out on his own artistic path. His remarkable ability to capture detail and to master the use of light in natural settings became hallmarks of his work. “Light plays a major role in my work,” states the artist. “An abundance of light and shadows creates a playground for me, and allows a painting to take on a life of its own.”Bogle’s artistic versatility knows no bounds, as he seamlessly transitions between mediums such as watercolor, colored pencil, and pastel. His ability to breathe life into his subjects, whether it be a majestic wolf in a snow-covered forest or a delicate flower in bloom, has earned him a devoted following of collectors and admirers. Today, Bogle continues to create breathtaking works of art from his home studio in the Seattle area, drawing inspiration from the stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife that surround him. With each brushstroke, he invites viewers to experience the wonder and magic of the natural world through his eyes, leaving a lasting legacy of beauty and inspiration for generations to come.

EDUCATION: Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Northern Illinois University
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
His career hit the ground running in 1987, after winning two national stamp competitions for the state of Minnesota, and Idaho. Darrell’s success continued when he was named among America’s 12 most popular artist by four different national art publications. Art publications such as USArt magazine conducted these polls annually by surveying North American art galleries, and placed Darrell with high rankings for several years. The same publication named him a Rising Star in 1995. Inform Art magazine named him one of the Top Ten Hottest New Artists in 1994. Darrell’s work has also been juried into many fine art shows where he has received several “Best of Show” awards. In 1997, Darrell was named “Artist of the Year” at the Wildlife, Western, and Americana Art Show in Minneapolis, MN.
Two of his lithographs hang in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and his work was also part of a special reception at the prestigious Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Actor Burt Reynolds and celebrity animal expert Jack Hanna also own his work.
Darrell has also contributed several print editions to The Boy Scouts of America fund-raising programs. In addition, a number of conservation organizations have also benefited from his generosity including The National Fish and Wildlife Federation, Ducks Unlimited, Pheasants Forever and The National Wild Turkey Federation. Most recently Darrell was selected as a featured artist for The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.
Currently Cabela’s Sporting Goods Co. has featured Darrell’s art on 17 masters catalog covers the last three years, and has commissioned the 2013 covers as well.
