Description
The Foster Art & Wilderness Foundation was established in 2013 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We unite the watercolor journeys of artist-explorer Tony Foster in powerful exhibitions that inspire people to connect with wilderness. These exhibitions are open to the public and available for loan to museums and other public venues. Tony Foster’s paintings on wilderness themes, and their accompanying souvenirs and journals, document one man’s deeply felt experience and resonate with a fundamental human need to connect with the earth. His process is compelling and his work unique.

(continuation of previous statement) tony Foster's paintings on Wilderness themes, and their accompanying souvenirs and journals, document one man's deeply felt experience and resonate with a fundamental human need to connect with the earth.
