Karri Bloemer
I create hand drawn, detailed wildlife images.
I am a video graphic artist. Following 10 years of broadcast production, I have been in video post-production for more than 30 years.
When the pandemic hit and work disappeared, I headed outside with my camera. I began spending hours in my local parks taking hundreds of pictures and drawing what I was seeing through my lens. So, what began as an attempt to illustrate a children’s picture book of birds and animals for my oldest grandson, ended up as the artwork that I am drawing now.
I draw true to life birds and wildlife that I have seen and photographed mostly on my local nature trails and neighborhood. Starting as a millisecond in real life, to my camera, to the stylus on my tablet, I strive to create a realistic glimpse of the wildlife with which we all share the earth.
The drawings become giclee prints on archival paper. Prints are then mounted in repurposed frames and mattes, saving the frames from landfills.
I am not a website or store. Every drawing is individually hand created and reproduced. Please contact me if you have any questions.
