"Sage Buck” original artwork. Created by Joel Pilcher using charcoal and acrylic paint on 18”x24” gallery wrapped/stretched canvas. No frame included.
Joel Pilcher was born and raised in the Rocky Mountains and has always had a passion for the outdoors and the wildlife that resides there. As a kid, when someone asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up, his answer was always a wildlife artist.
Joel spent time working for his dad who was a general contractor. He was practically raised on the job site and learned a lot of skills that have benefited him throughout his life. However, at age 22, Joel reached a point where he had to make the decision whether to chase his dream of becoming an artist, or follow in his dad’s footsteps in the construction industry. While Joel was grateful for the time spent and lessons learned in construction, the decision was an easy one. After looking for a few weeks, he found a job with a company as a graphic designer.
Joel worked for that company for two years then went on his own as a freelance designer. Over the next decade he did contract work for many companies inside and out of the hunting industry. He even had the opportunity to co-found a few businesses including a marketing firm called Zulu Six, the outdoor supplement company Mtn Ops, and Hoofit Socks. He learned a lot from the failures and successes experienced there.
As Joel's career in marketing and design progressed, he always wondered if there was still a possibility that he could be successful as a fine artist. In early 2017, Joel decided to give it a go—and it was the best career decision he's ever made.
Joel loves the look and feel of black and white. For over a year he worked almost strictly in white charcoal on black art board, but in early 2019 he decided to expand his horizons and pick up a paint brush. He now wishes he hadn’t waited so long because it was love at first brush stroke. He continues to paint but often returns to charcoal and has recently developed a new technique he loves where he uses charcoal on pre-primed and stretched canvas. Joel has always considered art to be an adventure and he's constantly pushing his limits and working to try new things and improve.
Joel loves creating art and really enjoys seeing the pleasure others experience in viewing his artwork. He has so many ideas and projects he wants to develop and hopes to be creating for a very long time.
Thank you all for your support!

Force Majeure
The years of 2020 and 2021 have faced unique challenges that have interrupted the availability of products and services. RMGA continues to make good faith efforts toward reducing the impact of these influences on the 2021 auction. RMGA maintains no responsibility or liability for ensuring satisfactory delivery of purchased items.
In no event shall the RMGA be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, pandemics, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the RMGA shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.
In the event that causes outside of RMGA control pose a considerable impact or hardship, RMGA, in its sole discretion, may elect to refund purchase price of the item(s) less premiums or other expenses accrued to date.
Shipment of Purchased Items
Expect items to ship within 30 days unless otherwise noted. The pandemic, directly or indirectly, has impacted the availability of some items. Wherever possible, RMGA has made a good faith effort to denote items that will not ship within the 30 days. RMGA is not responsible for determining ship date and does not guarantee delivery within any specific timeframe.
Many third-party entities and individuals (“Donors”) have donated items for RMGA auctions and giveaways. In many cases, the donations include the execution of necessary shipping. Buyer is responsible for any shipping costs above and beyond those executed by the respective Donor(s). RMGA holds no responsibility for costs associated with the shipment of any goods or services.
Close of Bid Acceptance
The 2021 fundraising auction on behalf of RMGA is scheduled to close for all items on March 27th at 8:00pm PST. In the event that active bidding on individual items continues to occur within sixty seconds of scheduled close, bidding for the particular bid lot or item will be extended for an additional sixty seconds per qualifying bid until bidding ceases for sixty seconds or the maximum number of allowed extensions is met. The maximum allowed extensions are equal to ten (10) one-minute extensions.
Any bid made at auction constitutes an unconditional offer to buy the item in question at the price bid (plus applicable taxes/fees). Unless a higher and subsequent bid is made, your bid creates a binding contract of purchase, and constitutes authority for RMGA or its partners to execute the purchase of the item, requiring that the bid amount be paid prior at the close of the auction.
