Karen Allaben-Confer, life member of the Cayuga Bird Club, has a retrospective art show at the Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History http://www.rtpi.org/ in Jamestown, NY. The show runs from August 9 to October 29 with the opening from 5:00 to 7:00 Friday, August 9. Karen's work was selected as the poster piece for a show that toured in Japan out of ~1000 juried submissions. She has been described as "among the great wildlife artists of our time" (Bill Roberts, Emeritus Professor of Art, Wells College) and as "among the world's finest wildlife artists" (Alan Singer, Professor of Art RIT).
Over 50 pieces of Karen's works are on display with many from local
collectors including Ton and Laura Schat, Peter and Mary Lou Harriet,
Paul and Linda McBride, and Randy Wayne. The show spans 35 years of
creative effort and depicts the changing style from evocative acrylic to
more recent, delicate graphite and pastel. Images feature Pileated
Woodpeckers, Peregrine Falcons, and seabirds including Atlantic Puffin,
Common Tern, and the Great Auk.
The show features many of Karen's finest works, that
are unlikely to be assembled for display again.
I hope this personal note will not appear to violate the listserve norms
of use. JLC
