Larry Hubbell, Artist, Author, Photographer and Sculptor, is best known for his Seattle nature blog. In 2012 Larry’s story, Life After Eddie, introduced Seattle to two young eaglets growing up in the nest built by Eddie the Eagle, who lived and died on Union Bay.

Larry’s first solo exhibition: “Birds Watching” opens at The Elisabeth C. Miller Library at the Urban Horticulture Center on January 4, 2014. The show runs through February 15, 2015.

The goal of Larry’s art is to inspire harmony between humanity and nature. His current work is focused on enabling the citizens of Seattle to know and appreciate their natural neighbors.

The beauty and the struggles of our local birds -- eagles, woodpeckers, herons and owls -- show how closely our lives are intertwined with theirs. The air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink are inseparable from the fate of the natural world. Larry believes that “Knowing and sustaining nature in our neighborhood is the first step toward ensuring the future of humanity”. 

Celebrate our local Seattle birds, the eagles Eva and Albert, the woodpecker Elvis, the heron called The Dragon Master and many others at The Elisabeth C. Miller Library, Center for Urban Horticulture, UW Botanic Gardens, 3501 N.E. 41st Street, Seattle 98145

Share refreshments with Larry at the Opening Reception on Friday January 10, 2014, 5 to 7pm.

Twenty-five percent of all purchases will be donated to the UW Botanic Gardens.
