Rex Brasher: The rediscovered bird painter

From the creator

A century ago, Rex Brasher was finishing his life's work: Almost 900 watercolors documenting some 1200 American bird species. Celebrated in its day, Brasher's work was largely forgotten by the end of the 20th century. Now, residents in the community where he lived and worked are exploring his work again. As the threat of climate change accelerates, the Rex Brasher Association believes there could be invaluable scientific documentation of changing habitats in Brasher's artistic legacy.
