George, who now lives in Grand Junction, Colorado, is native to Blue Rapids, Kansas where, from his hunting and gathering parents (and from many other generous individuals in the community at-large), he learned to appreciate land and life and to see nature deeply.

Such interest in nature led him to a professional career in science. Now, after many years of teaching and paleontological research at the university level as well as science museum and nature park planning and design, he has turned to art.

Among his oil and watercolor paintings from world travels he emphasizes the wildness of mountains, mesas, and canyons of Colorado and Utah. He notes, "I love the power of a high mountain storm, the mystery of reflections, the anticipation of adventure, the play of sun and shadow, the excitement of discovery, the enigma of clouds, the surprise of color, and the patina of history."
