Barry Van Dusen is an internationally recognized artist living in central Massachusetts. Barry has illustrated many publications for the Massachusetts Audubon Society, and his bird illustrations have appeared in books published by the American Birding Association, HarperCollins, Princeton University Press and Cornell University (Comstock). His book FINDING SANCTUARY was published by Mass Audubon in 2020.
This exhibition showcases his watercolor paintings of New England birds, wildflowers, insects and other animals. You’ll find New England landscapes here too and a special group of paintings from his travels around the world. Some of these pictures were painted on location, while others were created in the studio. Related ‘mini-exhibition’ feature his field sketches and book illustrations, and a special selection of pictures by some of his European colleagues.
150 of Barry’s watercolors and field sketches are included in a new book, “A Year of Birds: Writings on Birds from the Journal of Henry David Thoreau“, available from the Thoreau Society.
