Listen "October 7, 2025 – Wildlife Artist Entrepreneur James Corwin and Book Publishing Steve Kidd"
Episode Synopsis
James Corwin – Owner of Corwin Galleries
I can sit down at the easel and create a painting, whether I’m feeling
inspired or creative that day or not. It’s like playing a piano – once you
know the notes and how to read music, you can play whether you feel
like it or not.
James Corwin is a celebrated American wildlife and nature artist, and the founder of Corwin Galleries, a premier fine art destination showcasing Western, wildlife, and contemporary works. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, and raised in Kalispell, Montana, James developed a passion for painting early in life, later studying Studio Art and Art Education at Marietta College and Montana State University. His signature oil paintings are known for their vivid realism, emotional depth, and intimate portrayals of wildlife, often inspired by his global travels and deep connection to nature. What began as a love for landscapes evolved into a full-time pursuit of wildlife storytelling through art—depicting the raw beauty and emotion of animals in their natural habitats. With galleries in both Hamilton, Montana, and Aspen, Colorado, Corwin has built a thriving presence in the art world, with his works collected internationally by private, corporate, and celebrity clients. His philosophy centers on capturing the spirit of the wild and preserving its fragility through art that inspires connection, conservation, and appreciation.

You can’t write the book that you need to write until you know who you are.
And the problem with any… AI books is they don’t know who you truly are.
Most people don’t really know their why behind what they’re passionate about.
