Kouba was internationally known as one of the world’s foremost master painters of wildlife.  The artist is recognized as the founder of the wildlife art revival in the 1970s.  He inspired many other wildlife artists.

His deep understanding of wildlife stems from growing up on a Minnesota farm.  This afforded him ample opportunity to observe and study wildlife in their natural habitat. Kouba said, “Because I actually hunted and fished, I developed an early understanding of all of the background skills necessary for my future career as a wildlife artist.”

His exciting oils and dynamic watercolors are known worldwide to be some of the most authentic portraits of wildlife in existence.  Kouba put true detail and nostalgia into the paintings.
