The spirit of the wilderness, portrayed in fine art.
Montana native Jesse Lee Varnado lives his passion by tracking, climbing, walking and stalking through mountains and forests with his camera. Through quiet observation, care and respect, he strives to accurately portray the natural behavior of the wilderness and its inhabitants.
All of Jesse's work is of wild animals; no pets, zoo, game farm, menagerie or captives.
He does not agree with the use of dogs for chasing or trapping wildlife. He never uses bait because of a deep respect for natural habitat and behavior (naturally occuring "bait" is utilized).
He is driven by the greatness and astounding beauty of our wild lands and believes it to be a great medicine for all people willing to look and listen.
