John Kobald
Born in St. Charles, Illinois, in 1967, Kobald was taught by his parents at an early age to observe nature and translate it into an art form. He began creating under the guidance of his father Ray, a widely respected artist. Kobald received a bachelor of fine arts degree in sculpture from Northern Illinois University and went on to guide professionally in northwest Colorado.
Kobald’s fascination with the dramatic presence of wildlife greatly influences his artwork. His travels throughout North and Central America and New Zealand have provided many research opportunities. Watercolor paintings express the varied environments of his travels, including the rivers of the Rocky Mountains, the colorful aquatic life of the oceans, and the moods of the changing seasons.
