Sleep Polar Bear

Amy Ruppel was born and raised in the Kettle Moraine woods of Wisconsin near the Mammoth Ice Age Center where she drew plants and animals, dug up fossils and went for endless forest walks amongst all her forest friends.

Her love for nature and science led her to an art and illustration career, and to the Pacific Northwest.

To this day she draws and paints animals and environments who are threatened by the changing climate.

Amy is a full-time artist and illustrator in beautiful & green Portland, Oregon.
