As a wildlife
and nature artist this challenge offers wonderful possibilities. These are
moments of flight, or moments that capture the animal just before it
flashes away!
I try to
capture actions that portray the character of the animal or bird. I paint
for those moments in a style that is fluid and moving while retaining the
accuracy of feathers, fur and hair. Working in watercolor, gouache or
acrylic, my goal is portray wildlife and the natural environment in ways
that enrich our appreciation for the beauty of God’s Creation. The gift
of nature lifts our spirit and helps us to feel healthier. Through the
medium of wildlife and nature art we are able to re-live this experience.
Artist’s Profile:
After study
at The Burnley School of Professional Art, in Seattle, I began my
art career at The Boeing Co. and later as an advertising artist for
The Seattle Times Newspaper. In the early 70’s I was Creative
Director for Computer Graphics, a Publishing Company that worked
with Seattle Magazine and other publications. After fifteen years
as a professional artist I changed my career path, attended Seminary, and
was ordained a priest in the Episcopal Church. Retirement in 2001
allowed me to return full-time to art.
Study with “Master Artists” began in 1993:
I have
studied with Carl Brenders, Terry Isaac, Jessica Zemsky, Jack Hines,
Adele Earnshaw, Joe Garcia. and Lee Cabel. Each of these
artists have helped to strengthen my skills and all have added to my
ability to capture the moment.
Galleries &
Collections: My art is in
private collections throughout the Northwest and is shown in galleries
in Snohomish, Everett and Spokane. Our studio is on the S. Fork of the
Stillaguamish River at Mt. Pilchuck.
