Author Description

The natural world is a source of wonder and delight, and Molly Hashimoto's clear-eyed scenes of birds remind us to pause and enjoy. Be still and engage your senses, and you might spot the brilliant flash of yellow as a goldfinch alights, or hear the rhythmic hum of swans' wings in flight. In relief prints enhanced with watercolors, these birds and more are accurately portrayed in their natural habitats. Hashimoto supports the preservation of America's parks and wilderness areas by sharing her knowledge of birds and art through seminars in ecology centers and national parks. Twelve of her crisp, bright works are collected in this wall calendar. All of Pomegranate's calendars are printed with soy-based inks on environmentally sourced paper.
