Works in Progress

  

 

The beauty of nature is evident in the wildlife and landscape paintings of Wildlife Artist Pat Pauley.  Pat is an easy-going guy who enjoys hunting, fishing, photography and shooting sports.  He grew up in Western Iowa where he now lives with his wife, Sandy and their five children.   As a big nature enthusiast, Pat brings the outdoor world to life in his paintings with his use of composition and light.  Pat gets his inspiration for his paintings from his own experiences in nature and is passionate about conservation and preserving the hunting and fishing traditions he enjoys so much.
  North American wildlife such as deer, elk, grizzlies, fox, and mountain lions are some of his favorite subjects to paint.  Pat also enjoys painting song birds, turkeys, pheasants, ducks and other waterfowl.  Pat is also an avid bird watcher and thoroughly enjoys taking his kids out with him to photograph and observe animals in their natural habitat.
 

 

Pat is a signature member of the prestigious Society of Animal Artists and is also a member of the Artists for Conservation group.  His paintings are held in public and private collections.
