About the Artist:

The openess of Mike Capser's art offers an expansive world for imaginations to explore. The graceful beauty of this imagery comes naturally to the artist who lives with his family under the wide and open skies of Montana.

Capser paints, draws, and sculpts contemporary, western and wildlife subjects. A critical part of his work is based on painstaking research and inspiration from hunting, studying, and sketching in the wild untouched land of his childhood. He relies on much of his rich, personal experience with the West to get the right "feeling" for his subjects.

He has received numerous awards and honors for his paintings and has been accepted in many shows including the annual C.M. Russell Show in Great Falls, Montana, and the prestigious "Birds in Art" Exhibition in Wausau, Wisconsin.

Several of Capser's images have been used by The National Wildlife Federation for Christmas cards. His artwork can be seen in galleries across the United States.
