Orni Sapiens fine art

Orni Sapiens is a unique series of paintings and ink-drawings created by Janet Strayer that depicts a "more than human" world in which people and birds mingle. These "characters" show remarkable affinities in expressed personality and attitudes from humourous to poignant. BIrds historically across cultures have acted as symbols for humans (freedom, escape, portent) and as messengers of worlds beyond.
