Larry Eifert has been a professional painter and writer for over 40 years.
With over 100 murals to his credit, no artist, living or past has more art installed in America's National Parks, and his work is seen on many nature-oriented products from coast to coast. A third generation naturalist, he has now sold well over 3,000 original paintings.
It's a mentoring-thing: Larry's mother was author and illustrator of 20 books, mostly about nature, was editor of a museum nature magazine for 36 years and an Audubon magazine contract writer. Her work is still in print after 50 years.
His father was education curator for the Illinois State Museum with a double-masters degree in ecology and English. From this background, Larry gained early mentoring from his parents and museum staff - and never looked back.
His is a continuing passion developed from many sources, from the boyhood time spent at Rachel Carson's home in Maine to the museum babysitters who said: "Here - draw this giraffe and don't bug us."
