Brandon Finnorn’s artwork casts a studied eye on the creatures of the sky, capturing the elegance of their form, their majesty as they take flight, and the kaleidoscope of their plumage.

Fish Painting Workshop

Conservancy Classroom | $100

Guided by his underwater photography, Brandon Finnorn creates oil paintings that coax the light from the canvas, casting it in rays that beam through the water and sparkle off of scales and sediment.
