BOOK REVIEWS
"So well does the artist Catherine Eaton Skinner distill what she sees in nature that a look into the faces of her painted animals immediately conveys an intimacy with the subject's spirited vitality. Her animal portraits are like fine poems that have eliminated the superfluous to leave the truest essence of her subject. Her paintings invite us in visually and emotionally to consider and share the beauty and mystery of Nature."
-- Tony Angell, Northwest Artist, Naturalist and Educator
"Catherine Eaton Skinner's beautiful art engages the viewer-- encouraging a thoughtful dialogue about the connections and relationships between people and animals. These prints, which are based on Skinner's full-sized works of art, take adults and children directly into the animals through their eyes. It is a priceless connection."
-- Deborah B. Jensen, PhD, President & CEO, Woodland Park Zoo
