Richard Evans Younger
Richard Evans Younger arrived by a
circuitous route as one of the acknowledged leaders in the field of wildlife
art. He has worked as a photo retoucher,
a Navy diver and photographer, a television personality, a printer and an
advertising executive. Throughout these
pursuits he had a strong attachment to the outdoors such as becoming a champion
archer, an expert fisherman and a seasoned hunter.
From his earliest years he showed a
talent for drawing. Sketches and
paintings won him first prizes in his early teens. In high school, he worked as a photo
retoucher, which led him to portrait painting.
These two kept him busy and in funds during those years and during his
years in the Navy.
Following the Navy experience, he
enrolled in Kansas City Art Institute, transferring later to Missouri Valley
College. After studying under Remington
Schuyler, he began to spend more time outdoors to hunt and fish and to research
for his sketches of wildlife. About this
time, he changed from oils to watercolor which he considered a better medium
for his style of art.
In 1958, he visited the state of
Florida and decided this was to be his home.
He began his study of lithography, which opened up new avenues. His pictures of fish and wildlife got his
work printed in many outdoor publications, one of which was Field and Stream As
an outdoorsman and wildlife artist Younger is also an ardent conservationist. “It is frightening,” he says, “to see what’s
happening all over the United States.
The Natural habitats of our wildlife are being pushed back and sometimes
destroyed.”
