From the Estate of the late Joan and Peter Fogarassy, Raleigh, North Carolina

Thomas A. Bennett, artist-in-residence for the NC Museum of Natural Sciences, brings a painterly perspective to the careful observation of wildlife. His style emphasizes anatomical accuracy and is often compared to that of John James Audubon and John Gould, renowned 19th century wildlife artists. It is Bennett's hope that his work will inspire a heightened sense of awareness of the world and its creatures, and foster a greater environmental stewardship.

Very good estate condition; not examined out of the frame.
