JUSTIN SPARKS WILDLIFE ART


Until September of 2000, I was very content with the
life I had chosen. That life was working with the
animals you see before you in my artwork. I've always
considered myself a lucky man to have had that
privilege. But when I discovered that I possessed a
talent for painting, I took the only step that felt right
to me and began to paint them as I saw them.

When you spend your life caring for wild animals, you
begin to notice behaviors and personalities unique to
each individual animal. Personalities unknown to
most humans who view them from afar or sadder yet,
through the bars of cages. I made a vow to myself
that I would do my very best to capture that
personality in each of my paintings and to never hide
behind the preconceived notions that humans have
of wild animals. I hope that my paintings help YOU to
see into the animal world that I have come to know
and deeply love. As humans we have a responsibility
to be the voice on behalf of the all animals that share
this planet with us. I only hope that my paintings
SHOUT for each of them!


All of my paintings are Watercolor & Gouache on
watercolor board. No photography is used.
