commissioned pieces that have found homes in both outdoor and indoor settings, including private and corporate collections, in addition to museums, and university campuses along with international venues. As far as marketing goes, Palmer was never interested in the business approach to art. He has said in numerous interviews that his love is centered on humor and making people laugh both at his work and at the human condition it features. Mass production goes against his individual character. Much of his contemporary work has been commissioned in which the creation is a thoughtful, deliberate process in which he endeavors to make a reflection of the personality of the person for whom he is creating his unique signature. In one of his many interviews, he once said, “I have been told that my work is not sophisticated. But, if I have a choice between adding humor to someone’s life or selling sophistication, I’ll take the laughs.” Over the years, Palmer has donated his art to a diverse cross-section of organizations that make significant contributions to the quality of life in the communities in which he has lived. He sees more unique bird people in St. Marys’ future and is confident that additions to the Palmer bird collection only await his imagination.
