Birds, Wildlife & the Earth... Photographs, Paintings & Books

We paint, write about and photograph birds, wildlife and all the living earth with the hopes of increasing connection to and love for all the natural world.

We have a new book born from this hope. Golden Aspens Silver Wings Our Shared Fragile Earth, Poems by Sandra Seth and Illustrations by Valerie Graves, copyright 2025. Thank you to all who came to our Celebration party and book signing at Wilder Nightingale Fine Art Gallery May 31, 2025. We were very grateful for your company and your purchases of the book!! Four of Valerie's paintings were sold as well! Thank you, and thanks to Rob Nightingale for a great party and his kindness.

We are excited to announce that Collected Works Bookstore, Santa Fe's oldest, best locally-owned independent bookstore is having an Event especially for our book Golden Aspens Silver Wings Tuesday, August 26 at 6pm!

Starting in mid July, Collected Works will also be showingArt work by Valerie Graves including original Illustrations and prints of illustrations from the book along with original landscape and bird and wildlife paintings

"To have compassion and respect for every living thing on this fragile and beautiful earth which we share is the most important thing we can do."
