Bird Window February 2023, acrylic on panels, window frame, 34.5″ x 56″ 

A piece depicting North America’s disappearing avifauna. Details depict:

Ivory-Billed Woodpecker, Passenger Pigeon, California Condor

Carolina Parakeet

Azure-Mantled Warbler, Eskimo Curlew, Piping Plover, Golden-Cheeked Warbler, Whooping Crane, Heath Hen

The Azure-Mantled Warbler is a hypothetical species representing those which disappeared prior to recorded history, but which were seen by ancient people and named in languages that are also extinct. 

The piece also depicts several of J. J. Audubon’s mystery birds, most of which have never been recorded since Audubon.
