Meet The Artist for The Art On The Wing Exhibit
Featured artist: Joel Bielstein
AotW artist Joel Bielstein is a Wildlife and Landscape Photographer from the Black Hills of South Dakota. In any conversation with Joel you get the impression of great passion for the everyday beauty and balance in the world, and this shows in his creative work. His photography shows the moments that make the Black Hills such a special place.
Joel’s background handling birds of prey and animals allows him to capture the character and movement of local wildlife in a way that few photographers can. At other times his work shows incredible, vivid landscapes that are at the same time familiar and otherworldly.
His skills and passion are not limited to the camera, you can also find him teaching at Jade Forest Kung Fu and Tai Chi in Rapid City. Joel’s students learn fundamentals of balance inside and out, an experience just as individual as his art. Interested in seeing his art? It can be found at the Jon Crane Gallery in Hill City and on his FaceBook page.
