In May of 2013, Andrew Denman will participate for the first time in the prestigious invitational "Masterpieces in Minature" show at Picture This! framing & gallery in Alberta, Canada. Each year, a select group of artists contribute original art to this much anticipated show, where a portion of proceeds go to support the Arts in Medicine Program and Wellspring Edmonton's Art Therapy Program, which provide art supplies to children with cancer. Wildlife art masters Robert Bateman and Terry Isaac are among many well-known regular particpants in this event. Andrew is pleased to join with Picture This! and his fellow painters to support such a worthy cause.

In 2011, Andrew Denman and twenty-nine other American artists from throughout the U.S. participated in a field trip to San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico, to exprience, observe, and record the native flora and fauna to inspire a body of work for a museum exhibition entitled The Sea of Cortez, which is scheduled to premiere in 2013 at The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum Art Institute. The field trip was organized by David J. Wagner, Ph.D., who is also the curator and tour director of the exhibition. Leading the field trip was Richard C. Brusca, Ph.D., who is widely recognized as a leading authority on Sea of Cortez studies. U.S. / Mexico Transportation was made possible by The Susan Kathleen Black Foundation, and Mexico Ground & Water Transportation was made possible by Glenn and Martha Thompson. The exhibition is sponsored by the Michael C. and Priscilla V. Baldwin Foundation.

The Sea of Cortez exhibition was chosen for display at The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum Art Institute because the sea is central to its mission, as explained on its Sonoran Desert Studies webpage: "the Sea of Cortez divides the land portion of the Sonoran Desert into two halves, the Baja California Peninsula on the west, and the states of Arizona and Sonora [Mexico] to the east . . . The coast of The Sea of Cortez (also known as the Gulf of California) is characterized by 300 estuaries and other wetlands . . . a unique ecosystem that is home to a rich community of plant and animal life." The Sea of Cortez exhibition will include plein air paintings, botanical illustrations, sketch books with journal entries, wildlife paintings and sculptures, photographs, and other media. The show will focus on the flora and fauna that inhabit the environments around San Carlos, Mexico, including the sea's incredible marine life, the region's desert topography, the Estero el Soldado mangroves (one of the most pristine lagoons left in the Gulf), Nacapule Canyon, and scenic overlooks such as Mirador with sweeping vistas, sheer cliffs and the sea below.

Andrew Denman's acrylic painting, "The Conqueror," will be included the 52nd Annual Art and the Animal Exhibition of the Society of Animal Artists, which will premiere at the Hiram Blauvelt Art Museum in Oradell, New Jersey, September 1st, 2012 and run through January 31st, 2013.
