Growing up in the Lake Country of central Minnesota, Jim Kasper developed a keen interest and knowledge of the region's bountiful wildlife. Capturing his environment on canvas, he admits was "a natural direction for someone who just loves nature. I want the viewer to be moved emotionally to the extent that they have a clear view that nature provides this rich diversity of wildlife and habitats - an unlimited resource of beauty and the opportunity to enjoy it."

 

Conservation groups have recognized Kasper's work and extraordinary commitment to wildlife across the country.
