Artist Spotlight: Jim Rataczak—Artist to Naturalist to Artist

Watch Artist Spotlight: Jim Rataczak Discusses "Boreal Twilight"

Jim Rataczak (pronounced “RAT-a-check”) entered college intending to study art, switched his major to biology, and then re-discovered his passion for art while on a summer Fellowship at the Delta Waterfowl Research Station located in the “pothole” country of the Canadian prairies. Jim’s time in the field studying his subjects prepares him to create beautiful paintings in the studio!

We celebrate Rataczak’s artwork this month in our Artist Spotlight. Explore Jim's inspiration by watching the video and explore his work below.
