Raised on a ranch in Utah, he worked for the Washington State Department of Game for eighteen years prior to beginning a full time art career in the early 1970's. In 1977 he moved to Jackson hole, Wyoming to paint and show his work in Trailside Galleries. Mel has traveled throughout the western United States, Canada, Africa, and Europe, studying and researching wildlife. In 1984 he started Wolfwalker Galleries in Sedona, Arizona and lived there for twenty years. He and his wife Sunnie made their home in Montana where Mel could be found in his studio overlooking Flathead Lake, near Polson, Montana."
