Abstract:

Two of the museum employees capture the natural world around them in different ways. One uses a digital camera, and the other one sketches and paints. By making their subject matter the natural life of North Carolina, they hope to inspire people of all kinds to go out into nature and try it for themselves.

Abstract:

Artist Thomas Bennett is following in the footsteps of artists Audubon and Fuertes in painting highly detailed, accurate paintings of the state's extinct and endangered wildlife. In 1998, he embarked on a ten-year project depicting wildlife in North Carolina and the Southeast. When finished, the series will contain between 70 and 80 paintings. Several of Bennett's paintings hang in the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh, where he has been named the museum's first artist-in-residence.
