Researcher in the redwood forest canopy
When developing my paintings for Redwoods, I relied heavily on photographs taken by Steve Sillett and his team of researchers. Mr. Sillett is a leading researcher of tall trees and the environments that they create. His groundbreaking research was described in the wonderful book by Richard Preston, The Wild Trees. Climbing tall trees is very dangerous, and since I do not possess the necessary skills to see the canopy for myself, I owe a debt to the wealth of photos published on Humboldt State University’s Institute for Redwood Ecology website. I strongly recommend you check them out — they are unbelievable!
I signed books yesterday (November 14th) at the Browning School Book Fair in Manhattan. It was a great event! I was privileged to sign next to two outstanding author/aritsts: Peter Brown, Brian Floca and writer Rebecca Stead. Here’s a picture from the event:
