Meet CLADACH Illustrator

Matthew Kondratieff

Matthew Kondratieff has had an interest in nature for as long as he can remember. His first drawings of animals and plants were done using pencils, crayons, and a Mickey Mouse drawing pad while lying on the kitchen floor before school. During high school and college, he continued to draw, focusing on wildlife. He earned a B.S. degree in Wildlife, Fisheries, and Conservation Biology from UC Davis and a masters degree in Fishery and Wildlife Biology from Colorado State University. He currently works for the Colorado Division of Wildlife as an aquatic wildlife researcher. He lives in Windsor, Colorado with his wife, Jeannine, and their three young children. Natives of Santa Rosa, California, Matt and Jeannine enjoy exploring the wonders of God's creation together.
