In 1982, when artist Jean Pritchard was 17, a representative from a local art and design college showcased its students’ work at her high school. After seeing their scientific and technical illustrations she immediately knew what she wanted to do with her life.

Young Pritchard’s artistic eye very soon steered her toward illustration and eventually wildlife art, mainly painting big cats of the jungle, mountains, and savannah.
