Larry Eifert, a well-known artist of national parks, refuges, and preserves, has created over four thousand art pieces in his lifetime. He states he had been exposed to nature and a pencil early in his childhood and by 12 had won a New York national art contest.

Eifert still gets a real rush when creating nature paintings. 2016 was his 50th anniversary of being an artist and making a living from it.

Eifert grew up going to the Great Smoky Mountains with his parents often. This forest had always been a great fascination to him and is still struck by the beauty of flame azaleas. In his painting, we see various forest animals, birds, squirrels, and even a bobcat lurking through the leaves.

Larry Eifert

Larry Eifert is an American painter and naturalist known for his vivid depictions of wilderness landscapes and ecosystems across the United States. Born in 1946, he developed a deep appreciation for nature early in life, which became the foundation of his artistic journey. Self-taught and deeply influenced by the traditions of American landscape art, Eifert merged his passion for the environment with his creative vision, crafting works that celebrate the intricate beauty of the natural world.

Eifert's art, widely recognized for its educational value and aesthetic appeal, is a source of enlightenment for many. His detailed murals and paintings in over 175 national and state parks, museums, and wildlife centers help interpret ecological and historical themes for the public. Working closely with the National Park Service, he aims to connect viewers to the landscapes he portrays, often highlighting lesser-known species, complex ecological relationships, and the stories embedded in natural places.

Over the decades, Eifert has emerged as a beacon of hope in environmental art. He uses his talents to advocate for conservation and environmental education. His work, a reflection of the beauty of America's wild spaces, serves as a visual reminder of the importance of preserving them. Eifert's leading voice in this field inspires a deeper understanding and appreciation for the natural world through public installations and private collections.
