Wildscape Magazine Article
Jun 13, 09:48 PM

While I was away in Germany for the Year of the Gorilla; Wildscape, a UK based magazine ran an article on my work. The magazine specializes in wildlife art and conservation. The article on my work is entitled “African Diaries.”

The magazine editor forewarned me that there was a slight error in the article. It softened the blow, but only a little. The first page of the article contains images of artwork that are not mine but are by another artist, Pollyanna Pickering.

one of two images that were incorrectly credited to me. They were rendered by Pollyanna Pickering

As an artist I spend a lot of time and effort building awareness about my work, my style, my brand. Even though the error in the article confuses my “brand” with another artist, I am happy to receive positive exposure in a wildlife art magazine.

I remember going to opening night of a group show at the University of Rochester many years ago. I think it might have been my first ‘real’ show.

The first thing I noticed as I walked in was my two abstract paintings, both hung upside down! I tried to get them fixed but to no avail, at least not until after opening night.

Sometimes you work so hard to finally get some recognition and then something like this happens. But still it is like two steps forward and only one back. At least you are moving forward, making progress. Still I’m sure it was a disappointment.

The work that is yours look great. I hope it leads to greater success.

Dave—that’s amazing! I’m staggered(but not too surprised). Congrats!
And please tell me/us all about Germany when you can.
