September 16 I received some incredibly exciting news this week from the United States: my bronze kiwi sculpture has been acquired by The Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum. This marks the second time one of my sculptures has been added to their collection, the first being the sword-billed hummingbird. What makes this acquisition particularly meaningful to me is that the museum specializes in Birds in Art from all around the world. The fact that my work has found a place in a museum dedicated to Birds in Art is a true honor and inspires me to continually push the boundaries of my craft when it comes to depicting birds. As I reflect on this achievement, I can't help but feel a sense of accomplishment and motivation to set the bar even higher. In fact, I'm already well into the advanced stages of designing my next sculpture for the upcoming 'Birds in Art 2024' exhibition. In my mind's eye, I can already see the finished piece, and I find myself happily floating on cloud nine as I immerse myself in this creative process.

Kijken en genieten van Timeless Sculptures? Dat kan vanaf 12 maart in de Early Birds Art Gallery

September Hours 9 a.m.–2 p.m. Daily www.societyofanimalartists.com Purchase Animal Impressions Works Entrance to the exhibit is included in museum admission or memberships. ​How do animals impress upon us an appreciation of the natural world, of our connection to the animal kingdom, to our planet and to our own humanity? What are our impressions of these animals and their lives? This exhibition is a collection of works from members of the Society of Animal Artists that consider and interpret these questions through a variety of mediums. The Society of Animal Artists is an international organization for artists who paint, sculpt, or draw animals and wildlife, founded in 1960. The 60 pieces in this special exhibit represent artists from 7 countries and 27 states within the U.S.

Artwork from 114 artists from throughout the world is included in the 45th annual Birds in Art exhibition. This year, 510 artists submitted 830 artworks for consideration by the three-person jury. The exhibition includes artwork by the Museum’s 2020 Master Artist Timothy David Mayhew, 22 who were named Master Artists during previous Birds in Art exhibitions, and 91 artists whose work was selected by the jury. Birds in Art, which presents original paintings, sculptures, and graphics created within the last three years by worldwide artists, once again celebrates avian marvels through fresh artistic interpretations. See this list of 2020 Birds in Art artists’ names whose work is included in the 2020 exhibition.
