With the help of a generous project grant from the Maine Arts Commission, Creative Images Photography (Brian Beard) and I have been working on a project to showcase both my work field sketching birds and our connection to the arctic through those birds. Here’s a preview featured in this year’s Art in the Arctic online exhibition.
- Michael Boardman is an avid naturalist who has lived his entire adult life in the great state of Maine. His life long interests in wildlife, hiking, kayaking and artwork all combine to create the work you see here. Michael works mostly in watercolor in the field, painting when time permits or field sketching when not. He was selected to be the Visiting Artist at Baxter State Park in 2010 and the Artist in Residence at Acadia National Park in 2012. The summer of 2015 he was in Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska for the Voices of the Wilderness residency. You can see his work currently at Maine Audubon in Falmouth, ME.
