Looking forward to having an exhibit of my wildlife work later this year at the Gallery at Ideation Orange, sharing space with Joseph Ferraro. Stop by & see the current exhibit, “A very non linear pursuit,” a vibrant show by Detroit artist Paul “Fifty” Johnson. Here's a look at last week’s opening.

Two elegant great egrets perched on a nest made of thin, intertwined branches, set against a stark, clear background. The birds are back-to-back, creating a sense of symmetry and quiet balance. Their pristine white feathers are detailed and delicate, contrasting sharply with the dark, spindly branches.

A European rabbit sitting quietly amidst a dense, dimly lit garden setting. Surrounding it are glowing fireflies, luminous, contrasting beautifully with the dark, shadowy background. A secret moment caught. The color palette is subdued, dominated by deep greens and browns, punctuated by the yellow lights of the fireflies, evoking a magical atmosphere.

Evening in my backyard, a mother White-tail grooms her fawn, bolting soon after spying me. #naturelovers #deer #urbannature #naturephotography #puremichigan #photography #wildlifeart #fineartphotography #mother #bambi

A tender moment between a white-tailed deer and its fawn set against a lush, verdant backdrop. Deep greens of the surrounding foliage create a rich, almost immersive atmosphere, making the viewer feel as though they are quietly witnessing a private scene in the forest. The play of light and shadow enhances the peaceful mood, highlighting the smooth textures of the deer's fur and the delicate spots on the fawn.
The subtle inclusion of purple flowers adds a gentle pop of color, enriching the scene without overwhelming it.
The contrast between the warm, earthy tones of the creatures and the cool, dense greenery adds depth and dimension, pulling the viewer into the environment.
