The Wildling Museum of Art & Nature was founded in 1997 by Artist and conservation advocate Patti Jacquemain with the aim of inspiring the community and visitors to value, conserve and enjoy wildlife and nature through art.
Using art as a tool to educate and inspire people to better understand and care for nature’s dwindling natural and wilderness areas, the Museum has hosted more than 40 highly successful art exhibitions, education programs, trips and tours and continues to do so today.
The Wildling Museum’s collection is small and diverse and features works by nature photographers such as Jeff Jones, Ines Roberts, Richard Salas and Roger Craton, as well as oil paintings by celebrated painter John Fery.
Other artists featured in the museum include Lockwood de Forest, Russell Chatham, Everett Ruess and Ray Strong.
