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 art. And I
always considered myself a “lucky man” to have that privilege. But when
I discovered that I possessed a talent for painting, I took the only step that
felt right to me. I 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 a far, 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 per-conceived notions that humans have of wild
animals. I hope that my paintings help YOU to see past your per-
conceptions and look into the animal world that I came to know and
deeply love. As humans we have a responsibility to speak on behalf of the
animals on this planet we share with them. I can only hope that my
paintings SHOUT for each of them!


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