About the artist: Colter was born and raised in Bozeman Montana, which was fertile soil for a budding artist and wildlife enthusiast. His home on Golden Trout Way was surrounded by acres of adventure – swimming holes, sledding hills, running trails, and best of all, animals. (Deer, elk, foxes, frogs, fish, eagles, red-tailed hawks, you name it!) Colter went on many hunting trips where his father taught him to respect the lives and value the sacrifices of wildlife. To this day, no place feels like home unless there can be the (not-so) occasional deer sighting.
Colter’s roots as an artist were planted and nurtured by his mother, who taught him to find joy in imagination – laughter and creativity were staples in her parenting toolkit. This ingrained in Colter the value of finding joy in the process of creation, which has given him the confidence to pursue the exploration of mediums and styles in his animal portraiture.
Colter is now a husband and father himself and is hoping to instill many of these same values in his children. His wife and two daughters are his favorite of all God's creations, and he is grateful for how making art continues to be a blessing to his growing family.
