Scissor-tailed Flycatcher by Steve Hamlin
Steve Hamlin has drawn and painted since childhood. His work reflects three lifelong passions: nature, history, and architecture. Over the last fifteen years or so, Hamlin has become increasingly focused on wildlife painting, especially birds. He and his wife Linda travel as much as time and money allow in search of wildlife. “I use only my own photographs and field experience as primary reference material in my work. To date, our travels have been almost strictly domestic, which suits me just fine. I find interesting subject matter everywhere.”
Hamlin is a signature member of the Society of Animal Artists, among other organizations. He is currently president of the Academic Artists Association. See more of his work at https://www.stevehamlinart.com.
