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.

Good estate condition; not examined out of the frames.
