Wild Heart Gallery's 1st Annual Wild Art Open features wildlife and animal artwork in a range of genres and mediums. The mission of the gallery is to promote the work of wildlife artists and artists who incorporate animals into their artwork in both non-traditional and traditional forms. Mediums include, painting, sculpture, digital art, traditional printmaking, mixed media, photography, and drawing/pastels.

Congratulations to each artist whose work was accepted into Wild Heart Gallery's inaugural juried art exhibition! Artwork for this exhibition was selected by jury based on originality, technique, skill, and quality of work. 

The artwork shown here is a detail image of the Best in Show award winning piece, The Last One Standing, by Erin Leon. This is a woodcut print of a life-size young polar bear. The full print is approximately 3.5x7 feet. Please use the links below to visit the virtual exhibition so that you may enjoy this piece in its full glory.
