Bird Portraits for GLACE

 

For the inaugural year of a new spring course at the University of Michigan Biological Station called Great Lakes Arts, Cultures, and Environments (GLACE), I created a portrait of a northern Michigan bird for each student and teacher involved. Every bird is meant to match the character of a specific person, with three distinct personality traits I associate with each person and paired bird.
