| George
developed a passion for wildlife and the outdoors while camping, hunting and
fishing in the western United States
and Mexico as a
boy. While earning his Agricultural
Business Management Degree at California
Polytechnic State
University in San
Luis Obispo, he spent the summer months packing mules
in Yosemite National
Park.
Experience with livestock and the outdoors took him to Alaska
where he obtained his guide license. George has guided clients to some of the
most remote and beautiful corners of Alaska. Art had been a hobby until he was
commissioned to paint specific animals and places for people he had
guided. Thus he began to paint
professionally during the winter months specializing in wildlife and landscape.
In 1989 he moved to Prescott,
Arizona to broaden his range of subject
matter and devote more attention to art.
Here he studied and painted the great variety of wildlife and landscape
for four years. George continued to
guide in Alaska for 19 years.
George’s art is inspired
by first-hand knowledge. His paintings
are a record of experiences and they can be found in private and corporate
collections throughout the United
States and around the world.
George and his family
currently live on California’s
Central Coast.
