Fauna

Nancy Cawdrey’s unique approach to painting the wildlife of Glacier National Park, Yellowstone Park and the Great Northwest is best expressed in her own words.

“I like wildlife big and bold, filling the space, strong colors, demanding our attention. They make a statement about the West in all its glory. Perhaps my favorite is “Prairie Monarch.” There is something about the size of bison, bear and moose – I like to take those massive forms and play with the “landscape” within the form. I try to use lots of saturated color to get the depth and breadth of the animal, and that implies strength and a presence that I experience when I am up close and personal with them in Glacier Park and Yellowstone.” — Nancy Dunlop Cawdrey
