Join Special Collections & Archives for the monthly page-turning of John James Audubon's magnificent double-elephant folio "Birds of America." This month's guest speaker is printmaker Sherrie York. A self-taught printmaker and compulsive wanderer of landscapes, Sherrie York finds her inspiration in the natural world. A long-ago college field trip to draw backyard chickens was the unexpected genesis of a career that encompasses environmental education, natural history illustration, birding, and printmaking. Through the medium of linocut Sherrie finds her way to place, inspired by personal experiences and discoveries as she explores the natural world from mountains to the sea. Sherrie’s linocuts have been presented in national and international exhibitions, including the Woodson Art Museum’s prestigious Birds in Art, and the Society of Animal Artists’ Art & the Animal, and are represented in corporate and museum collections. In 2019 a major exhibition of her work was hosted at the Museum of American Bird Art in Massachusetts.
