 ________________________ About the Artist:
The show will feature paintings, drawings and prints featuring wildlife in Nebraska and around the world. I have always felt wildlife is our heritage and it is being threatened more each year. I hope my art can draw attention to conserving Habitat that our wildlife requires to flourish so that future generations will know the thrill of seeing wildlife in its natural environment. - Jim Miklavcic ________________________ Jim Miklavcic was born and raised in Illinois where he spent most of his time in the woods. Yearly trips to Wisconsin and Minnesota enhanced his knowledge and love for wildlife and nature. He doesn't remember when the dream of becoming a wildlife artist started; it was always there. Likewise there's no memories of learning to draw; he just always has. " It just came natural to me. The bulk of an artist's training has to come from the heart. The desire to learn more seems to be an obsession and a never ending process. Over the years Jim worked in design and architecture. He started to pursue his art in earnest in 1985 from his home in Florida and now works out of his studio in Nebraska. " I realized my art was more than a hobby to me, it was deep inside and the pull was too great to ignore."He also realized a new importance wildlife artists share because of problems facing wildlife and habitat. " The forest, along with it's wildlife, is our heritage." Jim now devotes full time to his art, teaching and studies of Nature, her wildlife, and our heritage. NATURE'S WINDOW STUDIO : LINCOLN, NE.
