The Illustrated Aviary

Reimagining John James Audubon's “Birds of America”

For every issue of Audubon magazine, we ask a new artist to reinterpret one of Audubon's original watercolors using their own unique style. You can peruse all of the works completed so far in this gallery. And in case you don't already, you can subscribe to Audubon by making a donation and becoming a member today.
