“The Art of Wildlife Conservation” Grange Insurance Audubon Center, Columbus
614-545-5475 • grange.audubon.org
The Grange Insurance Audubon Center presents “The Art of Wildlife Conservation” featuring the work of photographer Jim McCormac and artist Juliet Mullett. The exhibit includes 50 pieces depicting Ohio’s wildlife. The exhibition is free.
Mullett illustrates Ohio’s wildlife with undiluted watercolor pencils on various types of paper. She draws with exacting detail and finishes her subjects with bold color. Humans often only catch fleeting glimpses of wild animals, and Juliet believes that displaying these animals in scientific detail places them in the forefront of our consciousness.
McCormac is an avid photographer, shooting a range of natural history subjects. He has had hundreds of photos published
in various forums. He has authored or co-authored six books, including “Birds of Ohio” and “Wild Ohio: The Best of Our Natural Heritage.” McCormac is currently at work on books about dragonflies and moths.
Exhibition pieces are for sale with a portion of proceeds benefiting the Grange Insurance Audubon Center’s mission to awaken and connect participants to the beauty of the natural world in the heart
of Columbus and inspire environmental stewardship in their daily lives.

“Through Vincent’s Eyes: Van Gogh and His Sources” Columbus Museum of Art, Columbus
Columbusmuseum.org
An exceptional gathering of works by Vincent van Gogh, in conversation with the artists and artworks that spoke to him the most, will premiere at the Columbus Museum of Art. “Through Vincent’s Eyes: Van Gogh and His Sources” assembles more than 140 works of art by the artists who influenced Van Gogh, affording museumgoers rare insight into what spurred the Dutch artist’s visionary work. To fully grasp how Van Gogh processed these influences, audiences will experience 17 of the painter’s signature works firsthand, including “Tarascon Stagecoach” (1888), the still-life “Roses” (1890) and the landscapes “Les Vessenots in Auvers” (1890) and “Undergrowth with Two Figures” (1890).
“Through Vincent’s Eyes offers a fascinating glimpse into the creative process and how an extraordinary painter like Van Gogh would have been observing and absorbing the cultural milieu around him,” said Nannette Maciejunes, CMA executive director and CEO.
The similarities and divergences between the artists’ approaches will be explored through works such as Édouard Manet’s “Peonies” (1864-65), which in many ways resembles “Roses” (1890), a still life by Van Gogh painted with such heavy impasto that, according to one of the artist’s letters, it would take an entire month for the paint to dry.
Through Vincent’s Eyes presents works from more than 40 national and international public and private lenders.
