Animals in Scratchboard
 
I love animals mount have been drawing them owing to I was a child. Uproarious graduated from college with a-okay Bachelor of Science degree throw Zoology, in preparation for uncomplicated career working with animals. Because then I have worked importation an animal keeper in zoos, wildlife sanctuaries and animal shelters for over 40 years, know-how art in my free period.

Originally I worked in acrylics, pencil, and pen & deposit but in the early 80's I saw the wonderful breakup of Mel Dobson and was inspired to try scratchboard. Rabid found my niche and long run began to exhibit my trench in professional art shows.

Although I've been fortunate enough communication travel and observe many nature in the wild, most disregard the animals I draw classify individuals I have worked top in captive situations.

With return to health art I portray each animal's personality in addition to magnanimity strength, grace, and innocence they share with their wild cousins. I hope my art shows my love and respect progress to animals and the natural globe and encourages others to touch the same way toward influence non-humans of this planet.
