Beakuency welcomes Jim Coe, a landscape painter based in Greene County who is passionate about birds. He is the author of The Golden Guide to Field Identification of North American Species. With his professional training in biology and extensive birding experience, he accurately captures not only birds themselves, but also the time spent observing them in the Hudson Valley and beyond. In this interview, Jim shares his career and artistic process that enables him to create such iconic images. He says he "hopes to evoke the poetic quality of birdwatching, capturing that magical moment when the bird, its environment, and the atmosphere merge into one memorable image." His paintings invite us to appreciate these magical moments and the beauty right around us.
