It is the story of a man who understands wildlife and those who love wildlife, and who has made the world a better place for both through the power of his work." Diana Rupp, Editor in Chief, Sports Afield
AVAILABLE through Banovich website ordering or ALL Barnes & Noble, Borders and Books-A- Million stores, specialty book stores and Amazon.com

Years of worldwide travels to explore wild animals at close range have allowed him to capture the essence of their spirits on canvas. Each intimate painting reveals something about the subject, the artist and ultimately the viewer.

It will give you an intimate glimpse into the world of the most exotic Beasts we are blessed to share the planet with.....and reveal the challenges facing the animals living in these wild places. From journal entries, field sketches, to over 100 finished paintings this book gives you an unparalleled look into the eyes of the BEAST!"
