RARE AIRBook + National Touring Exhibition | 2020-2025
RARE AIR: Endangered Birds, Bats, Butterflies, and Bees shares stories of North American bird conservation and current citizen science projects. This title was published by Mountaineers Books in 2023 and was recognized as a finalist for Foreword’s INDIES 2023 Book of the Year in the Ecology and Environment category.  

A nationally-touring companion exhibition was developed to expand on the book’s stories and research. This family-friendly educational exhibition features all original gouache and ink artwork from the publication as well as playful interactive experiences to engage audiences of all ages with urgent issues in wildlife conservation.  

Exhibition commitments include:
