Our neighborhood has at least one pair of these swift and vocal owls roosting in our trees, eating up our rodents, so I thought a Barred Owl would make a great addition to the Fauna Collection. Last summer, the neighborhood where I live had the opportunity to rename. It was a big process. Lots of suggestions were made, votes tallied, hoops jumped. In the end, we settled on naming our streets after the Barred Owls that flit through our trees and that pleases me so very much.

The

Fauna Collection

This collection of beautiful 4×6″ charcoal pencil and linoprint originals were created in the month of October as a meditation on the diversity of nature found in our back yards. Following prompts from the Wild October draw list, many of the creatures featured are characters in my own life story. Now it’s time for them to have a place in your home.
