In Native American cultures, feathers have always been significant parts of ceremonies, often used for clothing, decorations, tools, weapons and “dreamcatchers.” The Iroquois have a Great Feather Dance to thank the gods for all their blessings – food, water, the sun, the moon.

The following is from my latest book, The Art of the Bird: The History of Ornithological Art through Forty Artists.
Janet Turner was one of the artists I discussed and special to me because I knew her personally. She borrowed bird specimens from the natural history museum I supervised, allowed me to visit her in her art studio, and even gifted me with one of her prints. She was a very special person and a wonderful artist. Janet Turner grew up on her family’s Kansas farm punctuated with summer camps at Cape Cod. Her sister Barbara noted that Janet was engrossed in every detail of the out of doors and believed that all of nature’s creations were just as important as human beings.
At Stanford University in California, Turner was discouraged from majoring in biology because “it was not a field for women.” Turner experimented with different forms and subjects of art, with birds as her main focus.

It wasn’t until my junior year in college when I took ornithology and started watching birds. My first bird guide was a Peterson.
