About this event

Jackie Morris will introduce The Book of Birds, her collaboration with author Robert Macfarlane. Reimagining the nature field guide, the book considers 49 declining or endangered bird species and invites readers to recognize their place in a wider effort to protect them.

Morris will paint live on stage while a camera captures her work stroke by stroke. The event offers adults and high school students a chance to see the process of a renowned artist.
