Wildlife
artist B. James "Jim" Jokerst is a life-long naturalist who
makes his home in West Glacier, Montana within sight of Glacier National
Park. Living so close to one of America's grandest national parks gives
him year-round opportunities to observe the area's wildlife while he
hikes, canoes and skis through the park's back country.
With pastels, pastel pencils and charcoal, Jim captures the beauty and spirit of the birds and mammals that inhabit this special corner of Montana. His artwork has been shown and sold in galleries in New York, Denver, Dallas, Jackson Hole and throughout Montana's Flathead Valley.
Jim hopes his paintings encourage others to value the grizzlies and black bears as well as the pileated woodpeckers and pikas who share our world. He's a graduate of the University of Arizona and a member of the Pastel Society of America. ---Gail Jokerst
