Guest artist, Jim Irwin, photographs mostly nature and wildlife. As a veterinarian, his interest in animal photography should be of no surprise. Jim sees animal photography as a way of bringing more than just color or design to a wall but rather a dimension of personality as well. The close-up view enables one to see the natural features that are usually missed in real life due to all the movement and surrounding distractions. In effect, a "personality" seems to appear.  Jim’s goal is to capture this "personality" in an artistic fashion that can be displayed in a person’s home for regular enjoyment.  His interest in animal art is directed more toward wildlife rather than toward the more common domestic animals.   The photography creates an environmental awareness that may even translate into improving animal welfare, especially for the African species. Through environmental abuse, habitat destruction, poaching and other human interactions the future of many of these animals is in doubt. This special photography of these species can provide a chance to enjoy their being and hopefully they will survive.  Jim is a juried artist for the Greater St. Louis Art Association and the Best of Missouri Hands.
