Painting in acrylic on both paper and wood panels, her larger-than-life portraits capture both the natural beauty and personality of some of our state's unique bird species. We look forward to opening our doors to supporters, partners and members of the general public as we celebrate a local artist whose work complements our mission to protect and enhance our natural environments and wildlife, vibrant communities, productive working landscapes, rural character and unique sense of place.
