PATRICIA MOODY HARVESON
Wildlife Artist
Alpine, Texas
Patricia is an artist and conservationist with a deep love of nature. She is formally trained as a wildlife biologist with a doctorate in wildlife science from Texas A&M University. She has 30 years of experience studying large and meso-carnivores including mountain lions, black bears, jaguars, foxes, coyotes, ocelots, and bobcats. Before recently retiring, she spent 15 years as a research scientist and professor with the Borderlands Research Institute at Sul Ross State University. Currently, her work focuses on wildlife conservation through research, education, advocacy, and art.
As an artist, Patricia’s goal is to inspire a love and appreciation of wildlife and to bring awareness to the conservation needs and concerns of each species. Her paintings express her profound respect for the earth’s wild fauna and flora by portraying their beauty and intelligence. She uses her work to promote the conservation of wildlife and their habitats by profiling the conservation organizations working towards their preservation.
A portion of the sale from each painting is donated to a selected conservation organization to support this work.
