about
the blog:
|
The
sightings blog initially 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. |
