A Furious WInd (Print)

***20% OF PROCEEDS FROM PRINT SALES SUPPORT BIRD ALLIANCE OF OREGON***

Watercolor painting of a flock of extinct Passenger Pigeons, painted for the January 2025 BRINK exhibit at Antler Gallery in Portland, Oregon.

I grieve for the creatures wiped out by humanity's ignorance. I grieve for never getting the chance to meet them. And I grieve for the land that shivers in their absence, shifting to fill the bird-sized holes, struggling to find a new balance, as humanity continues to take and take and take.

"There will always be pigeons in books and in museums, but these are effigies and images, dead to all hardships and to all delights. Book-pigeons cannot dive out of a cloud to make the deer run for cover, or clap their wings in thunderous applause of mast-laden woods. Book-pigeons cannot breakfast on new-mown wheat in Minnesota, and dine on blueberries in Canada. They know no urge of seasons; they feel no kiss of sun, no lash of wind and weather.

They live forever by not living at all."
-Aldo Leopold
