June: David Carlson

Foragers of Forest and Fen: Color Pencil Drawings

Explore the birds of the Orland Park area, the natural worlds they inhabit, and elements of abstract dream imagery by local artist David Carlson (aka Davincrow). These foragers of forests and fens all need to navigate the planet to find their preferred foods, their shelters, and to raise the next generation. Even plants and trees forage in their own ways for water, sunlight, and minerals in the soil. One just needs to step outside and look around to experience the ongoing miracle of nature.

David is an avid birder and translates his passions for birding and modern art into intensely detailed works using pencil on paper, with hidden images that reveal a sense of exploration and self-discovery.

The pieces shown here are a sampling of David’s exhibit, which you can visit in person during the month of June on the 2nd floor of the library.
