A Minnesota-based artist with formal training from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Van Gilder combines a strong background in graphic design, printmaking, and figure drawing to create animal portraits that are anatomically precise and visually powerful. His experience as a military photographer during the Vietnam era shaped his eye for composition and detail, and photography continues to play an important role in his creative process. Deeply connected to the outdoors, he draws inspiration from firsthand experiences in nature—whether observing wildlife, hunting, or exploring with a camera—resulting in artwork that feels authentic and grounded in real encounters. With nearly 150 limited editions released and prestigious honors such as “Artist of the Year” from organizations including Ducks Unlimited and the Boy Scouts of America, his career has earned lasting recognition, including a feature in the book Brushes with Nature – The Art of Ron Van Gilder.
