World wildlife artist Edward Aldrich seems to breathe life into his realistic depictions of animals and their natural environment. Excelling at anatomical accuracy, his works approach photographic quality yet retains the warmth of a painting in oils and watercolors. Indeed, it’s as if the animal’s muscles are rippling, to beneath their beautifully shaded coats, while one happens upon them in the wild. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Aldrich was juried into the Society of Animal Artists, and received many other honors of distinction over the course of his career. His art is carried in galleries throughout the US and Canada.
