| EDUCATION |
| |
The artist is self taught but has availed himself of
various workshops and individual college courses to expedite his artistic
growth. He has studied with Robert Bateman in his Master Wildlife
Painting Workshop, painted with world renown wildlife artist John
Seerey-Lester, attended a workshop with Daniel Greene plus
others to further his knowledge of art. |
| ABOUT THE ARTIST |
| |
Many hours are spent observing, sketching, and photographing
wildlife in preparation for a painting. His special interest is in
the Everglades region where the artist sees a definite decline in
the ecosystem and, therefore, feels it is necessary that visual documentation
be used in an attempt to bring these critical losses to the public's
attention.
The artist uses the traditional English method of watercolor painting,
building up thin washes of delicately mixed colors, one over the other,
until he accomplishes the desired value and color intensity for the
painting.
His work has been likened to that of John J. Audubon, in that both
artists work 'up close and personal'. |

| ARTIST'S STATEMENT |
| |
"As a Florida wildlife artist, I have an obligation
to present wildlife in a fashion that will generate an interest for
the viewer, to the extent that the casual observer will become more
concerned with preserving wildlife and their habitats rather than
destroying those ecosystems. Art is the best vehicle to introduce
the public to the wild habitats that they would otherwise not have
access. I make an attempt to take the viewer into this world with
my paintings and to open a visual dialogue between these two diverse
environments." |
