Al
is renowned for his portrayals of North American and African animals,
and has a special affinity for predatory birds and mammals. He also is
well known for his paintings of freshwater fish in dynamic action, a
result of another related passion—fishing. “The only career that I
think I could enjoy as much as I do art would be to make my living as a
professional fisherman. On the other hand, I’d hate for my fishing to
become like work!”
Al
is an ardent conservationist whose work has raised millions of dollars
for such organizations as Ducks Unlimited, the National Wild Turkey
Federation, the Black Bass Foundation, and the Wolf Recovery Project.
Along the way, he has earned the honor of being designated as “Featured
Artist” at such prestigious national art shows as the Southeast Wildlife
Expo, Pacific Rim Wildlife Art Show, NatureWorks Wildlife Art Show, the
Michigan Wildlife Habitat Foundation Art Show and was the Special Guest
Artist for the National Zoo Wildlife Art Show in Washington, D.C.
Al
has exhibited internationally for a number of years at exhibitions such
as Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum’s “Birds in Art” and “Animals, The
Artist View” as well as the Society of Animal Artists “Art and the
Animal” annual exhibit. He was one of only a few American artists chosen
by the Malilangwe Artist Trust to spend two weeks painting in the field
in Zimbabwe. His work has been featured in Wildlife Art News, U.S. Art,
Field & Stream, Outdoor Life, Sporting Classics, In-Fisherman and
North American Fisherman magazines and he has been commissioned by Bass
Pro Shops to create over 100 covers for their catalogs.
