Show by Scenic Route Media
Desmond McCaffrey is a self-taught wildlife artist from northern Alberta whose work is deeply rooted in a lifelong connection to the outdoors. Born in Saskatchewan and raised exploring the forests and waterways of Alberta, he developed his artistic ability by sketching wildlife and landscapes from memory after hunting and fishing trips with his father. His career path included work in the oil industry, big game guiding, and operating a taxidermy studio, experiences that gave him a detailed understanding of animal anatomy and behavior. Since becoming a full-time artist in 1989, his work has been featured in national publications, earned numerous awards, and led to high-profile commissions, including projects with the Royal Canadian Mint.Follow Des on Instagram @des_mccaffrey_artView and Purchase Des's Art: https://www.desmccaffrey.comGear up your adventures, with WURU Wool - the merino wool apparel for you!
