Dear Friends of Audubon Texas and Audubon TERN,
I am excited to share with you an invitation for a small gallery event in
Houston to share our Audubon Texas statewide conservation
efforts, and also feature a Texas artist who was inspired by John
James Audubon.
Frank X. Tolbert 2 recently produced the "Texas Bird
Suite" of large scale works and prints -- and his works
are fantastic! His "Texas Bird Project" show
just opened on November 7th -- and he offered to let Audubon Texas
use the gallery space on December 1st, so we have jumped at the opportunity.
I do hope that you might be able to stop by -- and I'm excited to
share with you that both Brian Trusty, our Executive
Director and Iliana Pena, our Director of Conservation will be able
to join us in Houston for the event, as well. There is so much exciting
conservation work happening all around the Lone Star State -- and we look
forward to inspiring you all with the important work that Audubon Texas is
doing to add to that equation.
Frank X. Tolbert 2 will also share with us his passion for Texas
birds -- and how he was inspired to learn about the
engraving techniques utilized by John James Audubon to produce his
own body of works with the assistance of Austin's Flatbed Press.
Please feel free to forward this invitation to any
friends/colleagues/family members in the Houston area, who might find
this event of interest from either a conservation perspective or
an art perspective -- or both!
We're looking forward to visiting with you on December 1st (just
reply back to let us know that you'll be there) -- and thanks for all that
you do for conservation and Audubon Texas!
Warm regards,
Stephanie
