Lofgreen was born in Mesa, Arizona and is best known for his wildlife oil paintings. At a young age, he demonstrated a great connection with animals, which led him to work as a volunteer in the Santa Barbara Zoo. After this experience, Lofgreen developed a fervent interest for this subject and began an artistic career as a self-thought artist. In 1996, with the intention of achieving greater fame and recognition the artist feigned his death.
