Item Description

Trout Mandala framed print of an original soft pastel by noted wildlife artist Mimi Matsuda of Bozeman, Montana. Single-matted with white mat board. Hand-signed and titled by the artist. Framed with an espresso, dark brown frame and ready to hang. Outside framed dimensions measure 10" X 10".  Image dimensions are 5" X 5".  

Trout depicted are: Rainbow, Golden, Brook, Yellowstone Cutthroat and Brown.

In her most succinct words, artist Mimi Matsuda, paints to inspire people to preserve and protect wild lands and animals.  Ever since childhood, she knew she wanted to teach about animals and paint to tell their stories.  After a decade of park ranger naturalist work for the National Park Service, she paints full time, highlighting the lands and animals she holds most closely to her heart.

She has shown her work in galleries across the Western United States and illustrates and paints commissions for groups such as Polar Bears International, Yellowstone Association, Yellowstone Park Foundation and many other environmental non-profit groups.  Her trout art was included in The American Museum of Fly Fishing’s exhibit on women’s contributions to the sport.  She is represented by Jack Dennis’ Wyoming Gallery, in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  Her art is also carried by retail locations across the US, in seven states.  Her work is in private collections across the entire US since 1997.
