Adventures of the American Pika

Jere Folgert uses his photography and filming to exemplify his passion for wildlife and wild places. He shares photos and experiences from decades of hiking, camping, and skiing across the American West. "Wildlife and wild lands are my interest," says Mr. Jere Folgert.

Jere explains, "In my humble opinion, wilderness is a place to be respected and revered. Wilderness has many natural benefits that we are just beginning to understand. I deeply believe wilderness is a place of safety and refuge from the pressures of our fast-paced society. Wild places provide us with a get-away, where we can seek relief from the crowds, traffic, construction, and noises that too often confine us. "

Jere graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Madison (A Bachelor of Science), and the University of Edinburgh, Scotland (world-class Masters of Science) after time in the United States Army. While in the military, he received an Army Commendation Medal and an Army Achievement Medal for his excellent military service.

If Jere is not in his Bozeman, Montana studio, he likely will be hidden in the wilderness, observing, filming, and dipping his brush into nature's colors. He artfully captures subtle intricacies in nature; including patterns, dimensions, and textures.
