About
Michael Sieve has been painting professionally for more
than four decades. A skilled hunter, accomplished artist and committed
conservationist, Sieve has painted more than 500 original works, with 150
reproduced as limited-edition prints by Wild Wings, a renowned wildlife art
publisher. Sieve’s paintings can be found in collections and museums throughout
the world, with reproductions appearing in some of the finest wildlife and
outdoor publications in the United States.
“Michael Sieve: An Artist’s Life” features more than 280
of Sieve’s paintings from his journeys across North America, Central America,
Africa and Asia and includes lions, tigers, bears, white-tailed deer and even a
few owls. You’ll enjoy his gripping and refreshingly honest accounts of the
experiences that inspired his artwork.
The International Owl Center in Houston, MN is hosting an
author’s book signing event with Sieve on Saturday, December 10 from 10:00 –
4:00. Sieve’s original painting “The Gatekeeper”, featuring a Great Gray Owl,
is on display at the Owl Center. If you’re fast enough you can purchase one of
a few remaining limited-edition puzzles made from that painting.
No admission is required for the book signing, to see
“The Gatekeeper” or to peruse the Owl Center’s gift shop. Regular admission is
required to view the Owl Center’s live and mounted owls, educational displays
and to attend the programs at 11:00 or 2:00.
