— book illustration


I'm very pleased to have been invited to join five other artists in contributing illustrations for this timely and important book. The 'official' blurb sums it up better than any paraphrasing I can give:


"The book includes much of the information and observations about plants, plant communities,
and natural landscaping that Nancy gathered over the years, together with essays and articles that Nancy and Tom wrote together or separately for many local, regional, and international publications. The book includes 175 illustrations, most of them commissioned specially for this book. All proceeds
and donations will go to the NANCY SMALL MEMORIAL FUND and to the general fund
of Kalamazoo Area Wild Ones, for programs and projects in environmental education."

— magazine illustration  

I recently completed the illustrations for a piece entitled Mistletoe: Winter's Kiss, written by
Terry Krautwurst and featured in the November/December 2011 issue of Wildlife in North Carolina magazine. As usual, I learned a ton while doing research for this assignment . . .
mistletoes are very strange and interesting plants, with long associations
with both birds and human beings . . . new info for me!

— group exhibitions
I'm very honored to announce that my watercolor painting Ruby-throated Hummingbird and Trumpet Creeper Blossom has been accepted into the Focus on Nature XII Natural History Illustration Exhibition. The exhibit will be open from April 28 - December 31, 2012 at the New York State Museum in Albany. Focus on Nature is a biennial exhibit which began in 1990 and has now grown to international proportions; FON XI included illustrators from as far away as Australia, Brazil, Canada, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom . . . and probably some others!

— outdoor interpretive panels

Just in time for the upcoming maple sugar season, I completed the illustrations for three new interpretive panels for St. Joseph County Parks' Bendix Woods Park, located in New Carlisle, Indiana.


 

. . . okay, I guess they're all fun jobs!
