about
the blog:
|
The
sightings blog was initially started as a one-year project in
2003. It presents drawings and ruminations from time spent observing
birds 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 copyrighted,
with all rights reserved. The sightings 2007 blog will be based
around walks in Central Park, NYC, and travels.

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 RISD 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 Brooklyn, NY. Her work is exhibited regularly
and is in collections in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, and throughout
New England. |
