Bay Area artist David Tomb has had a lifelong interest in birds, and also a significant commitment to the conservation of species and habitats that are reflected in his work.

The images he creates are huge in scale, up to 15′ wide. They are collage and mixed-media works on paper installations. Tomb says of his work: “Making artwork of birds is a way to connect and personalize my experience of seeing birds. The ultimate goal is to have people think “that animal is incredible… we need to save them!”

Exhibition Curator: Michele Ellis Pracy

Exhibition support: Daniel R. Martin Family Foundation
