Animals and Nature Drawings

Fantasy and reality in animal drawings.

Canadian Artist Diane Swartzberg mostly draws in black and white with a few exceptions. Most of her work is completed using ink, but from time to time she likes to switch it to paint.

Having spoken about the differences, let's focus on the similarities and the subjects that link all of these pieces. There are two of them: Animals and nature. Both of them seem to have a special place in this artist's heart. Further more, they are the inspiration for these sweet and sometimes quirky illustrations.
