Artist Statement 

"My desire is to capture moments of beauty in nature that fascinate me.  Natural light and motion are of great emphasis in most of my work whether it’s anatomy of dynamic wildlife in their natural element, the beauty of the human form or the atmosphere of a landscape and seascape. I strive to achieve this through my realistic drawings and paintings. It makes me feel alive to render the beauty I see and feel in references and with my own eyes.“

Bio

George has always loved to draw. Starting out as early as he could walk, he began drawing animals and dinosaurs. He soon stepped away from drawing dinosaurs while still maintaining a strong interest in animals and the natural world. He realized he had a talent for painting things moving and a strong understanding of anatomy as evident from his figure drawing and painting classes at East Carolina University. Painting outside scenes showing natural light in landscapes and seascapes further sparked his interest after college. Nature, animals, anatomy, motion, and natural light have allowed him to become the artist he is today.
