For our next TCS we will have birder and fellow artist Ross Hier. Ross will share about his February birding adventure in Costa Rica as well as his lifelong bird artwork.

Like art, birds reveal a spot of beauty with their plumes and songs and allow us to escape the stressful and mundane. Ross has captured the simplicity, as well as the complexity of birds.

Ross’s love of nature from a young age led him to a career as a wildlife biologist. He retired after 35 years with the Minnesota DNR Wildlife Section. A self-taught artist, he thoroughly enjoys the versatility of transparent watercolors. Nature provides him with unlimited subject material. Many of his subject ideas arose after observing some interaction in nature, landscape, or creatures. “I am drawn more to days when life wasn’t so driven by technology and was lived at a slower pace.“

Our next TCS is April 12, 5:00 PM via Zoom. Reach out to Trey for a Zoom invite. Everyone is welcome to attend!
