Drawing the Motmot
Little Axe artist Debby Cotter Kaspari took her little 3″ X 5″ sketch book to the Panama jungle.

As a dedicated field artist she uses her signature gesture drawings, field notes and camera to accentuate the rhythms and movements of her animal, plant and landscape subjects. Most of her work is done on paper, either in graphite and pastel, pen and ink, or watercolor; acrylic on board or canvas is used as well.
Her work has been shown in Art and the Animal, Society of Animal Artists; Impressions of New England, Art of the Animal Kingdom and American Artists Abroad, Bennington Center for the Arts, Vermont; Birds in Art, Leigh Yawkey Woodson Museum; and Focus on Nature, New York State Museum. Honors include Harvard Fellowship /Artist in Residence, Harvard Forest (2008) and the Don and Virginia Eckelberry Fellowship (2007). She has taught field sketching and nature journaling and created exhibit graphics and large murals for the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History.
