Zach Otte
Painter
My work comes from a life spent on rivers. For two decades I guided fly fishing and whitewater rafting between Colorado, Patagonia, the Amazon, and the Himalayan foothills. During my free time, I studied plant medicine in the Amazon.
In 2017, after a series of close encounters with wild tigers, I started teaching myself to draw and paint. While I’m mostly self-taught, I have also studied with a Japanese ink painter and a traditional jungle painter.
I paint with a bold palette to express my love for the Earth.
