Hello and welcome to my corner of the world!

I'm Sandra J Schultz, the artist behind Talking Sky Wildlife Art Gallery. For as long as I can remember, nature has been my sanctuary.  A place where I feel deeply connected to something larger than myself. The wind through the trees, the birdsong in the early morning, and the quiet, graceful movement of wildlife are what inspire my art.

There’s something incredibly powerful about capturing the essence of animals and the natural world.  Something that can’t always be expressed in words. When I’m painting, I feel that connection with nature more strongly than ever.  Each piece reflects not just what I see, but how I feel when I observe the beauty of the world around me. It’s this deep emotional connection to nature that drives me to paint.

Through my art, I aim to invite others to experience the same awe and wonder I do when I encounter the wild. There’s a sense of peace in witnessing an animal in its natural environment, and I try to convey that sense of peace in my work. I want my paintings to be more than just pictures; I want them to evoke a feeling, a moment in time that stays with you long after you’ve walked away.

I’m fortunate to live in a place surrounded by beauty (the western slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains)  and spend the summers at our cabin in rolling hills near Lake Mildred in Rhinelander, Wisconsin.  Both offer some of the most stunning views and wildlife in the country. Every day, I’m inspired by the creatures I see: everything from the wolves I’m currently painting to the quiet loons that call the lake home.

Through my art, I hope to share this world with you. My goal isn’t just to sell paintings but to connect with people who share a love for wildlife and the natural world. My gallery is not just a place to buy ar, it’s a place to come together, to appreciate nature, and to experience the wild in a whole new way.

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me and my work. I look forward to sharing more stories, paintings, and connections with all of you.
