An exhibition for keen bird watchers and the public alike to enjoy. Birds are among nature’s most decorative creatures, some sporting bright plumage, others are more discreetly toned and honed to fit with the environment. An observant artist studying birds can further our understanding of how birds adapt to survive.

Peter Gray, born in Zimbabwe and living in SA today is an internationally acclaimed bird artist who is well represented on this exhibition. He has participated in many prestigious exhibitions here and abroad.

Michaelis graduate Elizabeth Poulsom has, for many years, been an advocate for The African Penguin, volunteering to clean them after oil spills. Her oil paintings of the African Penguins at the Boulders beach just beyond Simonstown have a commanding presence.
