Teom Lim Wildlife Sculptures

About The Artist

The " Thrill of the hunt". To feel your heart vigorously pumping and blood surging through your veins is the reward of a great hunt. It is this exhilarating feeling that keeps us on the hunt season after season. It has been over 30 seasons that Teom Lim has been on the hunt. Since he was a child with a "Sling - Shot", he was always on the prowl.

Teom's early days were influenced by his father ( a world traveler and outdoorsman). Stories of jungle expeditions, fishing trips, and exotic wildlife were deeply imprinted into the child's imagination. Most of his formative years were spent playing in grand wilderness of western Alberta, Canada. There his love for the land and water grew and eventually lead him to an education in biology. With his passion for the outdoors, a university degree and an artistic eye, Teom is blessed with a rare perspective on wildlife art.

Teom's artistic career started as a dare from an artist friend. Teom did not realize that entering that first piece of art work in a competition would eventually lead to winning many Canadian and world carving championship blue ribbons. After Teom's artwork are retired from competition, some are donated to non-profit organizations such as fish & game clubs, youth sporting organizations, college museums, etc. These donations were intended for fund raisers or teaching aids to further the concept of conserving nature. A few pieces are kept by Teom as trophies of challenging competitions and hard fought victories. The remainders are sold to collectors.

With a busy schedule of work, Teom still finds some time to hunt. Whether it be antelope in Alberta, boars in Borneo or Bison in British Columbia, it is all "heart pounding fun for me"
