From Discard to Discord
UCSB Library is pleased to present these works by Johnny Onionseed, MFA candidate in UCSB's Department of Art.
IN & OUT Series by Bill Dalziel
Painting in a trompe l’oeil tradition, “To trick the eye and entertain the mind,” Dalziel says with a wink. The exhibit is highlighted by being integrated within a working business. In & Out Series becomes an enjoyable site-specific experience as the paintings off-set (all puns intended) and complement…how the art intersects with the tools of the trade at Tri-Co. These mesmerizing canvases were created in the ‘90s. All are for sale.

Program: Unforgettable Birds of Brazil
Program: Unforgettable Birds of Brazil
Motivated by Brazil’s astonishing birds and a sense of urgency to see and photograph them prior to further declines, Santa Barbara bird enthusiasts Satie Airamé , Jeff Chemnick, and Mark Holmgren teamed up with Brazilian biologist and bird guide Raphael E. F. Santos on multiple expeditions to Brazil. The indefatigable explorers traveled to remote localities with complicated logistics to observe and photograph wild birds in their natural habitats. This presentation features a collection of stunning bird photographs as well as stories, insights, and (often humorous) commentary by the birders as they share their experiences with the unforgettable birds of Brazil.
