Artist’s exhibit features wildlife, real life, still life

Stephen Moscowitz will exhibit “Birds and Other Stuff” from July 3 to Aug. 5 at the Society of Bluffton Artists gallery, 6 Church St.

Come meet the artist at the opening reception at 5 p.m. July 7 at the gallery. His exhibit will feature acrylic paintings of wildlife, real life and still life.

Moscowitz is a lifelong artist who studied at the Rochester Institute of Technology, School of Art and Design. He earned wide recognition as an illustrator for several years until he moved on to creating fine art of wildlife. He derives inspiration from birds of the Lowcountry, as well as still life and landscape painting.

“When I moved to the Lowcountry, I discovered the world of birds,” Moscowitz said. “Herons and egrets of all sizes and colors. In the Lowcountry, these birds are everywhere — even in my backyard. So, I have taken and borrowed photos of birds eating, swimming, wading and flying. Using photos as reference gives my birds proper stature and realistic features.”
