Teeming with life, optimism, and a sometimes improbable congregation of species, the paintings of Tom Uttech (American, b. 1942) celebrate natural abundance and diversity and evoke a spiritual connection with the wilderness.

Part visionary, part realist, Uttech hopes his paintings will inspire deeper care for our natural world.
