White tigers are beautiful.  The white tiger is a rare pigmentation variant of the Bengal tiger. This creature is a mutant.  The human race often finds animal mutations and defects desirable, yet in our own species we do not.  We are a drawn to oddities and differentiation in nature, yet shun people who do not share the same genetic make ups as we do.  Something to ponder….

In all mammals, I am most drawn to their eyes.  As in humans, they tell a story.  I had the opportunity to observe and photograph white tigers at Busch Gardens years back.  When I create animal art, I like to use a variety of images and then digitally paint new patterns and colors.  I am creating art and not just a copy of what is found in nature.

My “Hungry Eyes” has been one of my most popular and best selling prints…
