I recently made a mural in Buffalo, NY out of some old scientific illustrations of birds.
These images are interesting to me because they are vintage and painstakingly vivid. Once color photography took off, it didn’t make much sense to illustrate animals this way.
My goal for this room was to increase the sense of well-being. Like indoor plants, images of nature in our homes can increase a sense of peace and wellbeing. Our bodies and minds love nature. When we see it and experience it, we feel better. This is even so for artificial nature. The leaves, birds, and flowers, bring a colorful burst of movement and energy into this room.
The mural is about 13 feet tall.
