Hi, my name is Bernadette.  I'm a full time artist, working primarily in acrylics, and my company's name is Ducks in a Row Art Studio.  Most of the subject matter for my artwork is North American landscapes and wildlife, but I also enjoy painting domestic animals, portraits of people, and historic sites.  Ever since I can remember, I've had a passion for animals and the outdoors.  My chosen career allows me to do two of the things I love best: painting and spending time enjoying nature.  I gather reference for my artwork by sketching and photographing everywhere from my backyard and local nature centers, to wildlife refuges and national parks.
