Photo-Realistic Wildlife Art in Colored Pencil

Aimee Croteau works magic with colored pencils. Even close up, it’s difficult to believe that the Post Falls artist’s photo-realistic wildlife portraits aren’t photos. The highly detailed and intricate drawings celebrate the world of nature, inviting the viewer to stop, slow down, breathe deep, and experience the wonder. Through August 23, Wenaha Gallery is showcasing a selection of Croteau’s work, including wild cats, butterflies, a big-eyed reptile and more.
