EDITOR'S NOTE: When Wildlife Art Journal magazine launched Five Questions/Five Artworks three years ago, we were putting it in the hands of artists and knew not where it would go.  Intended to be the progressive art conversation that never ends, it is a series, foremost, about nature artists interviewing other nature artists.  Here is its lineage to date: Susan Fox (US) -Andrew Denman (US) -Julie T. Chapman (US)-Simon Gudgeon (UK) -Jonathan Sainsbury (UK) -Sam MacDonald (UK) -Harriet Mead (UK) -Esther Tyson (UK)-Wolfgang Weber (Germany)-Juan Vavela (Spain)- Denis Clavreul (France).
