Ester Curini commemorates America’s birthday
Wildlife painter Ester Curini turned to America’s mammal, the buffalo, for her newest work. Titled Born Before Fire, the work celebrates America’s birthday. “As the United States marks its 250th anniversary, I have been thinking about the lives that were here long before the nation existed,” Curini writes. “Bison once inhabited this continent in immense numbers, were driven to the brink of extinction, and survived. For me, there is something especially meaningful about looking at this animal now, not simply as a symbol of the country, but as a living presence that predates it.”Learn more about the artist at www.estercurini.com
