About the Exhibition
Evergreen’s new exhibition celebrates the art of contemporary designer and illustrator Sarah Kaizar (b. 1983), whose biologically accurate pen-and-ink portraits of winged species help to draw attention to threatened and endangered animals in North America. In pairing Kaizar’s bold and lively works with rare books and decorative arts from Evergreen’s collections, the exhibition continues the legacy of John Work Garrett of Evergreen, a life-long bird enthusiast, collector, and amateur naturalist and reinforces the ancient, mysterious, and profound links between humans and birds, bats, butterflies, and bees.
