We welcome Utah native and professional wildlife artist Joel Pilcher to the podcast. Born and raised in the Rocky Mountains and has always had a passion for the outdoors and the wildlife that resides there. As a kid, when someone asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up, his answer was always a wildlife artist.
Joel's journey includes the construction industry, business world, entrepreneur, graphic designer and now full-time artist. Joel was practically raised on the job site and it's where he learned a lot of skills that have benefited him throughout his life. However, at age 22, Joel reached a point where he had to make the decision whether to chase his dream of becoming an artist.
Joel worked as a graphic designer for two years then went on his own as a freelance designer. He co-founded a few businesses including a marketing firm called Zulu Six, the outdoor supplement company Mtn Ops, and Hoofit Socks. He learned a lot from the failures and successes experienced with each venture. Finally, in 2017, Joel ventured out as a professional artist.
Joel's artwork and connection to the outdoors is incredible and he is always supporting conservation initiatives. Hear what fuels Joel's passion and his passion for wildlife on episode 98 of Talk is Sheep.
