Andrew Jackson Grayson Hailed as “The Audubon of the West” Andrew Jackson Grayson followed the arduous Overland Trail to California in 1846 to find a new life for himself and his family. What he discovered instead was his old love of art and nature. Though little-known today, Grayson (1818-1869) became the foremost field ornithologist and bird painter of his era. His life and extraordinary work is the subject of the exhibition, "Andrew Jackson Grayson: Birds of the Pacific Slope". The Birds of the Pacific Slope exhibit is a magnificent example of the interaction between fine art, history, and science. It is sure to appeal to a wide audience, from school-age children to adults. |
