Opening Reception: In the Presence of Birds Sunday, May 3, 2026 | 3:00 – 5:00 PM Wayrick Wildlife Art Gallery, 2nd Floor, Scherman Hoffman Nature Center
Join us for a public reception celebrating In the Presence of Birds, a solo exhibition of oil paintings by Janet Atkinson. Come meet the artist and experience her evocative paintings of birds and the natural world firsthand.
Atkinson began her career as a professional illustrator, creating concept-driven imagery for book covers and editorial publications before transitioning to fine art. Working primarily in oil, her paintings are known for balancing subtle storytelling with expressive, painterly technique. Her work has been recognized by Communication Arts, the Society of Illustrators, the Hispanic Creative Awards, and Print Design Annual.
The exhibition runs April 1 through May 29, 2026, and is free and open to the public. The reception is a wonderful opportunity to view the work, speak with the artist, and celebrate the beauty of the natural world through her distinctive vision. janetatkinsonstudio.com | @janet.atkinson.studio
