Roaming the canyons and fields around the small central Utah town where he grew up gave Jim Morgan an appreciation of nature’s wonders. He learned to see not only the larger vista, but also the resident wildlife and intimate aspects of the area. He now lives in northern Utah, where inspiration is just out the back door.
Celebrated as one of the world’s finest wildlife artists, Morgan’s style is not realistic but impressionistic as he strives to capture the fleeting feelings of a moment, and to achive balance between his subject and its environment. Morgan’s ultimate goal is to create work that speaks for itself.
