Right now, I want to talk about Owen Gromme. A renowned and my absolute favorite wildlife artist. He was referred to as the “Dean of American Wildlife Artists” during his lifetime. He was also a devout environmentalist. At a commencement address in 1978, Gromme pointed out, “We owe a great deal to those who came before us, and it is our duty to pass on to prosper a world morally and physically, as good or better than the one we live in. It is our duty to oppose those who, out of greed and avarice, or for selfish or other reasons, would pollute, defile, or destroy that which means life itself to every living being.”
