Item Description
Charcoal, 12 x 12 inches
Artist: Joshua Spies SD
(from the Artist's website) Joshua Spies paints from his real life experiences. He has a passion for conservation, up-close and real encounters with wildlife, then sharing them through his art. His paintings come from experiences in places such as Tanzania, Cameroon, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Mongolia, Argentina, New Zealand, Tajikistan, Turkey, Kyrgyzstan, Spain, British Columbia, Yukon, Alaska, and Mexico.
Joshua grew up spending countless days observing wildlife on the vast prairies near his hometown of Watertown, South Dakota. He took an interest in painting wildlife as a young boy and sketched his first duck at age 8.
Spies' artistic abilities were apparent almost immediately to Master artist and Watertown native, Terry Redlin. Redlin encouraged and mentored Joshua for many years. Spies was also influenced and guided by other well known wildlife artists including Terry Issac, Paco Young, John Wilson, and John Green.
Spies received his Bachelor's Degree in Fine Art from the Department of Visual Arts at South Dakota State University. During his first year of school, he received national attention at an art show at Bradley University for his work in pencil. Since 1996, painting has been his full time profession, and he has developed a remarkable career as an internationally recognized wildlife artist.
Conservation has always been a top priority for Joshua, and through his paintings he has helped raise millions of dollars worldwide for this effort.
He won the prestigious Federal Duck Stamp competition in 2008 and has been a finalist in this event 5 other times. He was a finalist for Ducks Unlimited International Artist of the Year. His work has been selected for the Ducks Unlimited and Pheasants Forever national art packages numerous times.
