About the Author

Ami Dobelle has had an extensive career at zoos and aquariums. She has studied animals and animal behavior for over twenty years. Ami is an experienced educator and animal trainer who has appeared as an animal expert on multiple television shows. 

Her hands-on work with animals inspired her to write Animal Dads and continues to inspire her artwork.

Message from the Artist/Author:

I gain inspiration for my art from the natural world around us. I try to capture the souls of my animal subjects within their eyes. Watercolors are one of my favorite mediums because of the fluidity and the"non forgiveness" of the medium. 

As a visitor here, you are part of a fantastic community. 

Your feedback and the addition of your own animal knowledge is greatly appreciated and I encourage you to connect with me and ask questions!
