Devoetee: Local Birdy Things
What I am learning about nature conservation issues in & around the Hudson Valley, and bird-related journal. The name Devoetee is taken from the Alan Devoe Bird Club in Columbia County of which I am a member & serve on its board. However, the opinions expressed here are my own and personal, they do not reflect the views of the club.
Artiary
Features bird art I find in & around the Hudson Valley and beyond, and interviews with artists about their bird-inspired work.

Fujino Enterprise
This is where I post about my art. I am a self-taught artist from Japan who is based in Columbia County, NY. Using the hand-cut paper skill I have practiced for over two decades, I create stencil illustrations, collage art and cyanotype prints. I am a birder and often find inspiration in the natural landscapes and country life in the Hudson Valley, where I live. My goal is to connect with nature lovers and support environmental conservation works through my art. mayukofujino.com.
