about
the blog:
|
The
sightings blog was a one-year bird watching project in 2003. It
presents drawings and ruminations from time spent outdoors in
areas both urban and rural - the work is done in pen on paper,
posted chronologically, and not edited because this is essentially
a sketchbook. All content on this site is copyright 2008, with
all rights reserved.

about
the artist:
| Catherine
Hamilton grew up at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains in Altadena,
CA, and spent her childhood exploring the canyons and foothills
there. She began birding with her father when too young
to know any better, then abandoned it in pursuit of hipper things
like going to art school: she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from
the Rhode Island School of Design and a Master of Fine Arts from
Bennington College. Catherine taught at the Rhode Island School
of Design for seven years, but left in 2004 because she had developed
severe allergies to chemicals used in the classrooms. While contemplating
a life without painting and a job, she began spending time looking
at birds. She currently works out of her studio in NY, NY. |
