Etched Feathers: A History of the Printed Bird

Birds have mesmerized and inspired artists for centuries. 

This exhibition presents the brilliant birds of Florida in a contemporary take on the age-old process of copper etching.

Etched Feathers examines the works, and artistic processes, of John Costin, whose copper plate creations capture the essence of winged beauty. The art of other bird artists can also be seen, on view in the Wayne Thomas Gallery.​
