When you look at a painting by BTT’s 2015 Artist of the Year,
Mike Stidham, it is easy to see why his creations are held with
such high regard among art collectors. His time on the water as
a fishing guide on Idaho’s Snake river, along with years of
chasing many other game fish, have given Mike the ability to
dramatically depict our favorite species so accurately that it
seems he has stolen the images straight from our fishing
dreams and presented them to us on canvas. One of the finer
details that make Mike’s paintings so alluring is his use of light.
Accurately recreating the refraction of light underwater adds a
depth to his pieces that can only be replicated by an artist with
a true understanding of the underwater environment. Mike’s
paintings and other artwork have been featured in numerous
outdoor publications and that stands as a testament to this self
taught painter’s natural talent.
