Silent Skies Mural

 

In 2017, The Artists for Conservation organization proposed to us, artists, a challenge; they provided a list of 697 worldwide endangered bird species and asked if we would choose the ones we would each like to represent by painting an 8" x 8" of that bird. The concept was brilliantly designed by Jeffrey Whitting, President of Artists for Conservation in Vancouver, B.C.

 

"Silent Skies" is an international collaborative super-mural mosaic featuring all 678 endangered species of birds of the world. 160 AFC artists from 15 countries participated in the project. The 100-ft installation formed the artistic centerpiece of the 27th International Ornithological Congress in August 2018 in Vancouver, BC, after which, the mural continues to tour internationally.
