Familiar with wilderness and nature since his early childhood, Gerhard Bluhm developed a formidable painting talent. After completing studies in graphic arts, he worked as an independent painter. Wall paintings and large commissions ensued - followed by study trips and major exhibitions in several cities in the USA. All of the wilderness areas between the Mississippi and the northern Cascades received his artistic scrutiny for severeal months. During this period his award-winning paintings of bighorn sheep, Canada Geese, and bears were created. Today these paintings are owned by museums and galleries. A few years later the painter traveled through the Congo, Zaire and Zambia. Naturally this was an almost a live-threatening adventure, but the harvest in studies and paintings of rare beauty was significant. In 1989 Gerhard Bluhm became Professor of Wildlife Art und Graphics at the "Marcus Tullius Cicero" University of San Francisco. Back to Top |

Professor Bluhm is today one to the foremost painters in wildlife art, and thus it is not surprising that many publishers ask him for illustrations. Besides illustrating many magazines (e. g. "Wild und Hund", "Die Deutsche Jaegerzeitung", "Field and Stream") and books (Wendt, H.: "Ich suchte Adam" and "Auf Noas Spuren"), Prof. Bluhm published about 2000 etchings of american bird species through the American Masters Foundation.
