The Interview – In Their Own Words
Q: How would you describe your artistic style? A: “My work is realism-based, rooted in my love for the intricate details that bring nature to life. Colored pencils allow me to capture the minutiae of my subjects, from the feathers of a bird to the texture of tree bark. I often experiment with other media to add depth, using mixed techniques to enhance my primary focus. It’s a joyful process, one that lets me explore new ways of expressing the delicate balance and beauty of our environment.”
Q: What is your creative process like? A: “It begins with finding the perfect reference that speaks to my heart, often inspired by causes like Artists Biologists Unite for Nature and the Birdwhisperer Project. I study the reference, considering the materials I’ll use to breathe life into my vision. Each piece is an adventure in combining colored pencils with other media, pushing the boundaries of realism to evoke emotion and depth. The process is not just about depicting nature; it’s about crafting a dialogue with the viewer about the preciousness of life on Earth.”
Q: What message does your work convey? A: “In today’s world, where deforestation and climate change threaten our ecosystem, art has the power to raise awareness. My art strives to communicate the urgent need for conservation. It’s about making people feel connected to nature, encouraging them to think about their role in preserving it for future generations. My pieces are reminders of the beauty we stand to lose, and I couldn’t be prouder to be part of this mission.”
Q: Has your story influenced your artistic journey? A: “Absolutely. Nature has always been my biggest inspiration. Over the years, researching subjects has deepened my understanding of conservation. The more I learned, the more I wanted to contribute, to speak up for those ecosystems and creatures without a voice. We are all connected in this vast ecosystem, and I see my art as part of that connection—a tribute to the beauty of life and a call to protect it.”
