Considered
North America's "Dean Of Rain Forest Painters", Richard Sloan
was born in Chicago, IL where he attended the American Academy of Art.
He then worked as an advertising illustrator before joining Chicago's
Lincoln Park Zoo as staff artist. After a 1966 sell-out solo Exhibition
at Chicago’s Abercrombie & Fitch Gallery, Sloan left Lincoln
Park to embark upon a lifetime of capturing images of the world's rainforests
in paint. Since his first trip to British Guiana (Guyana) in 1969, he
has made sixteen expeditions to the Amazon Basin, the Peruvian Andes,
Guatemala, Trinidad, Tobago, Belize and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.
