Gainesville artist Jay Kemp poses for a photo inside his studio. Kemp has been chosen as the 2013 Southeastern Wildlife Exposition’s featured artist. The expo will open Feb. 15 in Charleston, S.C.
Lying on the ground in the northernmost part of the Rocky Mountains, Jay Kemp found what he was looking for. In September 2010, the Gainesville native and acclaimed wildlife artist went to Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada, to study elk. For several days, he followed a temperamental bull elk and several females through the Canadian wilderness.
