There was a moment during my career as an artist
that I pretty much etched and painted only waterfowl. I’m very much concerned
about the protection and preservation of our natural heritage, and attempted to
promote my views through the promotion of waterfowl and their habitat. Those
were very good years wandering various marsh habitats in all kinds of weather
observing waterfowl, and the many other creatures that call the marsh their
home. I made a lot of sketches, produced a lot of etchings and paintings, and
met many wonderful persons who shared my beliefs and passion for wildlife
preservation. I believe that we accomplished quite a lot for our efforts, and
am hopeful that my waterfowl art continues to remind that there’s nothing more
important than protecting and preserving our natural heritage for future
generations.
