Strange Animal Art: Paxton Gate Opening Reception | Mission Dist.

Come join Paxton Gate’s Curiosities for Kids for an art opening by artist, Evan Barbour, August 17th from 6-8pm.

Evan Barbour earned his bachelors from Reed College with a thesis on animal play behavior and a graduate credential in scientific illustration from UC Santa Cruz. Following a stint at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, his illustrations have adorned magazines such as National Parks Magazine and books such as South Pacific Birds and Maine’s Favorite Birds.

Also an educator with a tenure at the California Academy of Sciences and the Headland’s Institute, Evan’s current pursuit of a MFA at Mills College further enables him to explore the overlap between art and science. In addition to painting, Evan maintains an avid interest in birding, insect collecting and plant identification.
