Artist Biography: "Recognized as one of Canada’s premier nature artists, Clarence Tillenius was born near Sandridge in the Interlake region of Manitoba in 1913. He grew up outdoors among the forests and animals of the area. Sensitivity to his surroundings led to a life-long appreciation of the beauty and fragility of nature, in addition to an unending commitment to wildlife preservation. An interest in drawing wild animals developed during the artist’s earliest years. Despite the loss of his right arm in a 1936 construction accident, he continued to paint with his left hand. He developed his skills through studies with Scottish-born Winnipeg artist Alexander J. Musgrove, along with in-depth observation of nature, and studying the Masters, and the work of other nature artists. For over sixty years he traveled throughout North America to observe animals in their natural habitat. Sketches completed on these trips were developed into paintings in his studio."
