Born in 1939 and raised in Kamas, Utah, Clark Bronson became one of the country’s most renowned wildlife artists. Bronson’s love of wildlife began early— his father was a game warden, and growing up in Summit County gave him plentiful exposure to the natural world. He started landing illustration contracts for Utah Fish and Game Magazine while still a teenager. Throughout the 1960s his work was in high demand, winning national awards and acclaim. He was the illustrator for two best-selling books: Album of North American Wild Animals and Album of North American Birds. At age 30 Bronson turned his focus to bronze sculpture. His work was collected by Winthrop Rockefeller and former President George H.W. Bush, among many others.
