For every issue of Audubon magazine, we highlight artists who are motivated to educate and inspire people to take action on behalf of birds. Artist John Paul Brammer was captivated by the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, a species he knew from his Oklahoma childhood.
Their dance-like pose evokes the vivacity of Native American powwows hosted by Comanche and Kiowa tribes, which Brammer relished attending as a kid. “You can’t help but be transfixed by all the regalia, all the colors, the way they move,” he says. “It’s hugely inspirational if you’re an artist.”
