Taking Flight

About This Artwork

I admire the beauty and grace of this beautiful bird and wished to capture them in the moment of lifting off the water, with powerful wing beats and the splash of water, I hoped to give the viewer not only the sight but also the sound of taking flight.

About the Artist

Rosemary Millette

Rosemary Millette

This extraordinary South Dakota artist has been developing her natural talents and sharpening her skills since she was a young girl. Millette began painting at the age of five and even then found animals were her favorite subjects. Greatly inspired by her hometown hero, David Maass, Millette recalls being in awe of the breathtaking beauty of his artwork and that of other midwest artists. The founders of modern wildlife art continue to influence Millette and she considers their contributions among the most significant in the history of art.
