Exhibit: "The Year of Flaco" features six of my photographs.
The New York Historical Society, 170 Central Park West, NYC
Monday CLOSED
Tuesday-Thursday 11 am – 5 pm ET
Friday 11 am – 8 pm ET
Saturday – Sunday 11 am – 5 pm ET
Many thanks to the curator Rebecca Klassen for putting this wonderful exhibit together in an unusually short amount of time. A special thank you to Valerie Hartman for sparking the idea of the exhibit and suggesting it to the New York Historical.
Flaco's hoots can be heard as well as the call of crows that were mobbing him. Flaco's life is celebrated and his death is mourned with memorial objects left at this favorite oak tree. A display of how glass can be retrofitted to become bird safe is also included, making it a well rounded exhibit.

Exhibit: "Our Fragile Moment" includes two of my photographs.
The Hudson Guild Gallery, 441 West 26 street, NYC 10001
Tuesdays - Fridays 10am - 6pm
Saturdays 12pm - 3pm
Many thanks to the artist, arts educator and curator Fran Beallor for selecting very special pieces from distinguished artists all over the world for this installation. I am most grateful for being included and for being able to represent Flaco's journey as well as highlight the dangers he faced living as a free owl in Manhattan for one whole year until his untimely death.
Our one planet is warming and warning us. The “fragile moment” we are in has inspired a diverse group of thirty-two creators to turn their artistic visions to the crisis. In a range of abstract, symbolic, realistic and surrealistic styles, these artists address vanishing wilderness, wildfires, pollution, both invasive and endangered species, melting glaciers, threatened corals and desertification. Some artists use text and graphs to highlight issues, including sea level rise. Others use recycled materials which underscore their concern for the environment. The combined voices of these artists allow beauty to blend with sadness, fear to be overlayed with hope and optimism, and apathy to be turned to action.
New Book Release:
"FLACO" edited by Jonathan Hollingsworth is the book I am holding in the photo above. It is a beautiful compilation of Flaco images, artwork and memorabilia left under Flaco's favorite tree in Central Park. It includes four single page and two double page photographs of mine.
