Candlelight and Wine Evening: Evolution of a Bird Artist By Dorie Petrochko
In this slide-lecture Dorie Petrochko will talk about the early influences on her bird watching as a young adult, her scientific heritage, and her explorations as an adult bird enthusiast and bird painter. Working primarily in watercolor and gouache, she is very careful to research her subjects and works from spontaneous life sketches and her own photographs as much as possible. Dorie exhibits her paintings and drawings through galleries and commissions nationally and is president of Connecticut Natural Science Illustrators, a group of local professional artists offering a program in natural science illustration at the Yale West Campus.
