SIGNED ART WORK
BY ENID GROVES

Enid Groves’ interest in animals began in childhood with a succession of pets.
Not content to simply have them, she closely observed their behavior.
She sketched her rats and mice and hamsters, her terrier "Jigs" and the cats and kittens.

Her eye for detail sharpened in University of Colorado biology classes
where exact and detailed drawings of plankton
and other microscopic creatures were required.

After graduation,
Enid worked for the world’s largest taxidermy firm
where she worked directly with the reconstruction and finishing
of Polar Bear exhibits.
Later, at the Museum of Science in Buffalo, New York,
she labored for five years assembling the fossilized skeleton of an Allosaurus.
When the task was completed,
the Jurassic era creature was 30 feet long and 15 feet high...
a gigantic "line drawing" in fossilized bone.

Enid Groves’ line drawings, etchings and prints have evolved
into a happy combination of humor and elemental body language.

"I like animals", she says.
"They remind me of the old silent film stars,
animating their stories with a look and a gesture.
In the living room, around the yard or on the farm,
animals are the greatest, most natural actors in the world.
The speak in elegant, universal body language.
Every dog is a Barrymore and there surely must be some
Theda Bara or Douglas Fairbanks in every cat.
I try to capture some of their lighter moments in my drawings.
If I have succeeded with a look, a yawn, or a busy pursuit,
perhaps you will join me in a smile of recognition... yes,
I too know and like this wonderful creature."
