and continues through mid December. These student paintings
will be sold during the exhibit.
Each bird featured represents
species currently under study by Cornell Lab of Ornithology
scientists. This combination adds deeper dimension to the show
by encouraging viewers not only to enjoy the rich visual experience,
but to become informed about species conservation.

bird quilt.
Art students practiced techniques used to
create their full sized textured bird paintings on small tiles.
These colorful tiles were later assembled to create the textured bird
quilt pictured above. If you look closely you will notice the
tiles represent bird parts from the same species depicted in the full
size paintings.
