Contemporary Artist-Naturalists Robin Hill and Meg Page

Oct 12, 2013 - Feb 23, 2014

Contemporary artist-naturalists Robin Hill and Meg Page, both deeply connected to the natural world, continue in the spirit of Audubon, Catesby, Wilson and Dürer rendering flora and fauna from near and afar. Unlike their predecessors, however, who oftentimes found themselves cataloguing new species in a lush, abundant, and untouched environment, Hill and Page as naturalists face the modern issue of documenting and preserving wildlife in a diminishing habitat. As artists, their exhibit of approximately twenty-five masterful and distinct interpretations distinguishes them from their peers and presents work that rises to the level of their forerunners.
