Introducing Gallery artist Steve Twaddle and his beautiful photography

My first thirty-plus years were spent on a mid-western farm in Illinois. I feel my daily interactions with the elements, nature and landscape early in life have heavily influenced my photography. Most of my work is captured on back-country roads and while hiking in Arkansas' State Parks, State and National Forests, and Wildlife Management Areas. Given my agricultural background, I have a soft spot in my heart for the old, worn-down barns and outbuildings that tell the tales of our country's hard-working ancestors.  I've also ventured outside the "Natural State" to various parts of the country to capture the natural beauty of our great country.      My work has been published in Digital Camera Magazine and Arkansas Fish and Wildlife.  I've contributed to the National Wildlife Federation in a story addressing the issues of the White River Navigation Project and provided the cover photo to a brochure concerning the Grand Prairie Irrigation Project.  Major art purchases are hanging in Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock, Mercy Medical Center in Rogers, AR, and the FBI office in Marion, AR.   My work is on display at the Arkansas Studies Institute Gallery in the Rivermarket District of downtown Little Rock.  I also enjoy providing photography workshops throughout the state.
