About the Art: Claude Steelman's love for the outdoors led him to a career in nature photography. Since arriving in Colorado in the late 1970s and seeing the majestic Rocky Mountains for the first time, Steelman decided to make the Centennial State his home. He and his wife, Katie, now reside in Durango.
A self-taught photographer, Steelman's photographs have appeared in hundreds of publications worldwide, including Arizona Highways, Field & Stream, Outdoor Life, National Geographic World, National Wildlife Magazine, and Smithsonian Magazine. Two of Claude's wildlife images, a hummingbird on a columbine and a raccoon, are displayed on the tail sections of Frontier Airlines airplanes. His cinematography has been featured in documentary films shown on The Discovery Channel, PBS, and National Geographic Explorer.
Durango Country is Claude's second book of awe-inspiring Colorado photography. His first book, Colorado For the First Time, rekindles the feeling of wonder that readers will remember experiencing the first time they gazed upon the state's majestic landscape and abundant wildlife.
