Private collection "Birds of America" is a series of paintings on found prints of North American birds that can be found in the coastal areas of the Gulf of Mexico. On each print a map of the Gulf is painted, showing the extent of the BP oil spill on a particular day. Each work is individually mounted and framed with a slim black wooden frame.
