Wildlife Art in Black and White

Needing a wildlife encounter? Visit the Boulder Public Library to enjoy J. B. Sullivan’s exquisite drawings of wildlife and animals of all kinds.  A Colorado native, Sullivan enjoys drawing birds, elk, coyotes, moose, bears and other animals he discovers in our local environment.

Each drawing requires hundreds of hours to complete the contrast, shading, and immense detail. Working with just pencils, he creates life like drawings that reflect each animal’s unique characteristics. Occasionally he adds a touch of color by adding a highlight in colored pencil.

Growing up on a ranch in Meeker, Colorado, Sullivan learned to appreciate wildlife when he worked outdoors. Today, he is an accomplished artist living in Lafayette, Colorado who shows his work in local venues, at summer art festivals, and on his web site, www.jsullivanart.com.

The current exhibit is sponsored by Boulder Arts Resource and located in the main Boulder Library at 1001 Arapahoe Avenue in downtown Boulder, March 6 – April 30.
