Guy Coheleach

Guy Coheleach has a gift for painting character, motion and life into his wildlife subjects that is matched only by his thirst for adventure. A fellow of the prestigious Explorer's Club and the youngest member ever admitted to the Adventurer's Club of New York, Coheleach has been chased by elephants and has tracked eagles, lions and rhinos all over the world. Coheleach is an adventurer who loves to paint. Born in New York, Coheleach graduated from Cooper Union and received an honorary doctorate from William and Mary College. Along with more than 100 one-man shows around the world, Coheleach's work has also been exhibited in the National Collection of Fine Art, the White House, the Corcoran Gallery and the Royal Ontario Museum. Coheleach was the first western artist to exhibit in postwar Peking. Coheleach is the subject of two films, Guy Coheleach and the Bald Eagle and Quest: An Artist and His Prey. His book, The Big Cats: The Paintings of Guy Coheleach, has been a Book of the Month Club selection. Another volume of his artwork, entitled Coheleach, has been included in the Masters of the Wild series of books. His most recent book, Guy Coheleach's Animal Art, published by DDR Publishing, reveals his extraordinary range. Coheleach's work has been featured in Reader's Digest, Saturday Evening Post, National Wildlife and Audubon magazines as well as in numerous regional art and wildlife magazines. Coheleach's donations to worthy causes are numerous. His endowment at the University of Tennessee provides several scholarships to students in the school of wildlife management. Coheleach is very serious about giving something back to a way of life that has done so much for him.
