Fauna – Creatures Great & Small

“The camera captures the likeness of a subject, but recording those same details with pencil or paint will etch them into the artist’s soul.  We meet as two creatures, and a silent communication connects us.  Working from photos or from life – hours or even days later when the studies are finished,  we are connected forever.” – Lisa Brunetti
