Jim Tschetter
Born and raised in
Colorado, Jim Tschetter was taught early in life to respect the outdoors and its
wildlife. Hunting, trapping, packing and fishing in primitive areas of
Southwestern Colorado filled his early years and developed his unique capacity
to overlook the hardships and enjoy a lifestyle reminiscent of the late 1800’s.
Jim graduated from SCU with a degree in parks and recreation and spent the next
several years working as a helitack foreman for the Department of Interior
before returning to the backcountry as an elk-hunting guide. It was during this
time that he would discover his gift of painting.
Drawing on his intimate knowledge of fighting forest fires, Tschetter painted
“Legacy” specifically to enter the 2001 Arts for the Parks competition and was
awarded first place winner.
Known as a wildlife-western artist, Jim uses themes depicting the unique
relationship between man and nature. His careful attention to detail and his
personal observations convey an inherent authenticity that captures the moment,
atmosphere, humor, and emotions of each situation.
Since his first attempt at artwork in 1985, Jim has quickly become recognized
among many American and international collectors. A Jim Tschetter painting will
bring its audience the opportunity to enjoy a way of life which is slowly
disappearing from our modern world.
