About this wildlife art painting: It is my life’s work to share with you, through my wildlife paintings and as a wildlife artist, the significance and life stories of the incredible animals with whom we share this planet.

I first met the beautiful Bird you have come to know as the “Immature Bald Eagle” in the fall of 2000. I was at the Toronto Zoo watching the free flying bird show. After the show, I met “Wambli” and was captivated by her story. Her handler shared that she was a rescue bird from northern Ontario. She had been taken from her nest as a chick and confined to a small cage in a garage and poked with sticks.

Her beauty and strength were obvious, but so too was a vulnerability and innocence that emanated from within her. Learning all that she had survived, I chose to paint this powerful yet vulnerable pose in homage to her. I intentionally accentuated the abstract shapes of her head feathers to guide your eye around and through the painting, giving the painting power, yet carefully embracing the emotion of her sensitivity.

When I completed this painting, “Wambli” was about four years old. Her beak was just starting to turn yellow and her head feathers were beginning to turn white. At about six years of age, her beak would be completely yellow and her head completely white.

Watching this stunning Eagle fly is an epic sight to see. She possesses a powerful seven foot wing span. If you have the opportunity, I would encourage you to watch her fly in the free flying bird show.
