    ARTIST’S STATEMENT

    The natural beauty of wildlife has always held a fascination for me.  This beauty, with its graceful and
    often gentle aspect, features prominently in the creation of my artwork; as in the grace of a heron hidden
    among the reeds stalking his next meal, unaware that he is being photographed. I know that capturing
    such perfection can be daunting, but as an artist this is my objective.


    Bill Shoemaker has been drawing with a passion for detail since childhood.  After studying commercial
    art he did freelance work while also entering fine art shows.  He broadened his artistic horizons to
    include pastel.  Soon thereafter Bill added several awards including that of first place for pastel at the
    New Jersey State Fair.  Bill started working in the color pencil medium in 1993 and since received over 40
    awards for his work.  The body of his work consists mostly of wildlife.
