About the Art: Blending his love of the outdoors, with an eye for detail and an artistic style that captures every nuance of a nature scene, Scott has discovered a way to preserve the magic and emotion of a fleeting moment in his wildlife paintings. In 1992, Scott founded Thunder Mountain Press to pursue the marketing of his own limited-edition wildlife prints. Since then it has continued to grow and prosper.

His education included studying illustration, painting and print making at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design after three years of studying at the University of Wisconsin--Stevens Point, College of Natural Resources. While at Stevens Point, Scott was commissioned by the Izaak Walton League to create a 65-foot mural in the college's new central building. Scott's paintings have enhanced the covers of more than 25 major magazines and can also be seen on the highly sought after "Miller Mirrors." His magazine illustrations have appeared in numerous outdoor publications and he has also illustrated books for Charles Scribners & Sons, Raintree Publishing Company, Willow Creek Press and Northword Press.

He is a member of Ducks Unlimited, The Ruffed Grouse Society, Safari Club International, Pheasants Forever and The Adventurers Club. Scott has shown his work at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson International "Birds In Art" exhibition several times, designed conservation stamps for the National Wildlife Federation and has donated his art to dozens of organizations dedicated to conservation and the preservation of wildlife.
