Pattern Story
I have started a new series in an uncharacteristic style for me. I tend towards abstraction but shifted to a more representational approach for this particular project. After reading about the global catastrophic decline in avian species last year, I started to sketch and research birds to increase my connection and knowledge. This is the California Condor, or Gymnogyps californianus, whose population was severely reduced due to shootings, power lines, poisonings, egg collecting and habitat loss.
Their population is making a comeback, thanks to organizations like the Ventana Wildlife Society, who help maintain and grow the Condor’s population. While this is great progress, the birds, like most of us, are facing the impact of climate change. The recent California wildfires have been catastrophic to the Condor population.
