Keith McGuire, born in 1950 in Beloit, Wisconsin, has had a lifelong passion for fishing, starting with Turtle Creek near his childhood home. After studying at the University of Wisconsin and the Ringling School of Art, Keith's career in the arts took off in Atlanta, where he led graphics production at Design South, working with top-tier clients like IBM and Milliken Carpets. His love for fishing followed him across the country, from the Chattahoochee River to the Rogue River in Oregon. Today, Keith and his wife Kelli have settled in Asheville, North Carolina, where he continues to pursue his twin passions of painting and fishing.
