The NuArtis Wildlife Collection
A collection shaped by the power and beauty of the wild.
THE CREATOR
A Life Shaped by
the Wild—and by Ideas
Steve DeVore’s path to NuArtis Wildlife was shaped by a fascination with nature and a lifelong study of art, literature and history. Time in forests and mountains, close observation of wildlife, and an interest in how great artists interpreted nature gradually brought wilderness and imagination, tradition and technology together. NuArtis Wildlife grew from that convergence—work created to capture the presence, character and enduring spirit of the wild.

WHERE IT BEGAN
The Wild Came First
Long before NuArtis, the wild had already become part of Steve’s life. As a boy, he trekked the Sierra Nevada with his father, fishing remote mountain streams for trout. During college summers, he worked as a forest firefighter, surrounded by vast forests, rugged mountains, and the elemental power of the wilderness. Years later, while producing a first-edition collection of Jack London’s The Call of the Wild, Steven immersed himself in the Alaskan wilderness and undertook an extensive study of wolves—their behavior, intelligence, social structure, and
remarkable instinct for survival Yhat experience led to the opportunity to adopt and raise two wolf pups, an Arctic wolf and a timber wolf, which he cared for through maturity before placing them in a wolf preserve where they could live and roam freely. Across a lifetime, fascination with the natural world deepened into an enduring respect for the beauty, intelligence, resilience, and untamed spirit of wild things.

A LIFE OF LEARNING
Ideas Became the Medium
Steve’s creative life developed through an unusually broad study of human achievement. His work in art, literature and history led to the creation of The World’s 100 Greatest Books and The World’s 100 Greatest People collections, later marketed by Encyclopaedia Britannica.
The latter explored the lives, ideas and work of many of history’s great artists—deepening his understanding of how composition, light, color and visual storytelling can shape what we feel.

"The wild gave me the subject.
The great artists taught me how to see it."

THE ARTISTIC FOUNDATION
Learning How Great Art Works
Steve studied the principles that give enduring works of art their power—composition, heroic scale, chiaroscuro, directional light, color relationships and atmosphere—and made them the foundation of the NuArtis visual-development process, providing a disciplined artistic framework for working with contemporary tools.
