Agnew’s knowledge and respect of wildlife are channeled through his brush in exquisite detail. It is the culmination of this knowledge, love and respect, combined with his extraordinary skill of interpretation that have earned him numerous awards and accolades. Inducted into U.S. Art Magazine’s Artist Hall Of Fame, Al was named Featured Artist at the Southeastern Wildlife Art Expo, the nation’s premier wildlife art show. He also contributed artwork to the Cullman and Hurt Community Wildlife Project in Tanzania, an innovative conservation project whose motto is “Animals are worth more alive than dead”. Through Agnew’s art and work as a conservationist millions of dollars have been raised to benefit wildlife through work with such organizations as Ducks Unlimited, the National Wild Turkey Federation, The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, the Black Bass Foundation, and the Wolf Recovery Project. Along the way, he has earned the honor of being designated as “Featured Artist” at such prestigious national art shows as the Southeastern Wildlife Art Exposition, Dallas Safari Club Convention, Pacific Rim Wildlife Art Show, NatureWorks Wildlife Art Show, the Michigan Wildlife Habitat Foundation Art Show and was the Special Guest Artist for the National Zoo Wildlife Art Show in Washington, D.C. Al has exhibited internationally for a number of years at exhibitions such as Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum’s “Birds in Art” and “Animals, The Artist View” as well as the Society of Animal Artists “Art and the Animal” annual exhibit. He was invited by the Malilangwe Artist Trust to spend two weeks painting in the field in Zimbabwe, one of only few American artists to have been awarded this honor. His work has been featured in Wildlife Art News, U.S. Art, Field & Stream, Outdoor Life, Sporting Classics, In-Fisherman and North American Fisherman magazines. In responding to the increasing demand for his art, limited edition prints are available through the artists’ studio, The Al Agnew Collection.
