This digital print of a watercolor/pencil drawing is an ode to one of nature’s most fascinating and misunderstood creatures, the bat. Once used as symbols of evil, they are now celebrated for their roles as pollinators, nurturers, and their kinship to humans .The experience of seeing thousands of them spiral out of a cave at Carlsbad Caverns at dusk aroused the artists’ curiosity and respect.
Kate Samworth develops images from her imagination that combine years of observational drawing practice with the study of 16th and 17th century engravings. Her imagery is inspired by observing wildlife and natural and man-made changes to the environment.
She is an artist, illustrator, and educator in Maryland. She teaches online at several art schools including the Rhode Island School of Design, Minneapolis College of Art and Design, PA Academy of the Fine Arts, and more. Her course on The Art of Natural History is available through Morbid Anatomy.
