“American Dipper” by Lisa Walraven.

Artist Lisa Walraven of North Carolina creates joyful, distinctive paintings of birds and other animals. Drawing from her work in wildlife rehabilitation and as a bird bander, Walraven’s love of the natural world is evident in her simple yet evocative work. We are excited to feature Walraven’s paintings in our current gallery show.
