Hike through the forget-me-nots, fireweed, and yellow oxytrope with pointillist Gail Niebrugge, who is living her life's dream of painting in the wilderness. Already a successful landscape artist, Niebrugge widened her focus to include the "little things" in the Alaska landscape - native flowers so fragile and breathtakingly beautiful. Alaska Wildflowers offers more than seventy beautiful paintings with stories about her exploration by land, air, and water of all corners of her adopted state.
Synopsis
After years of painting landscapes, Gail Niebrugge began painting flowers -- stunningly beautiful, delicate, and brilliantly colorful. This volume chronicles her journey from the majestic to the minuscule.
About the Author, Gail Niebrugge
Twenty-five years ago, Gail Niebrugge was drawing cartoons for war manuals as an illustrator for the U.S. Marines. This was not the career she had in mind for herself. With the support of a loving family, she moved to remote Glennallen, Alaska, where she began pushing her art in a new and exciting direction. Niebrugge, a pointillist, has received numerous honors and has served as artist-in-residence for the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. Currently she and her family live in Palmer, Alaska.
