A book cover for Birding for Life: How to Save Ourselves, Birds, and the Planet by LoraKim Joyner. The cover is a gouache painting of a Black Vulture preening a Crested Caracara, which they regularly do for some reason. They're both perched on a dead tree, with the caracara above the vulture with its wings spread. It's sunrise, and the sky is gold. Behind them are purplish hills.

A poster advertising an artist’s exhibition at the World Center for Birds of Prey in Boise, ID. The show is titled “Eyes on the Skies: Illustrating Raptor Research” and will be on exhibit from March 21st-June 7th, 2025. The logo for the World Center for Birds of Prey is in the upper righthand corner of the poster. The lower half of the poster is on a light blue background with an illustration of two American Kestrels attending to their nestling in a nest box. The nest box is surrounded with native wildflowers with rolling fields and clouds in the background. To the left of the illustration is a photo of the artist. They are fair skinned with short dark hair and are smiling at the camera while wearing a baseball cap and field clothes. Behind them is a spotting scope looking over a ridge. Below the photo is text that reads, “Meet the artist! Emma Regnier. Artist Reception Date: Friday March 21st. Time 6:30-8:30 pm.

love seeing your inspiration for the composition, esp how you've changed the lighting!! light is one of the trickiest things for me to paint and I always cobble together lots of references 😭 do you have any tips for how to plan out (references or otherwise) lighting a piece? big fan of your work 💞💞
