Karen Allaben-Confer (American) is a world renowned natural artist. Birds have been the lasting focus of Allaben-Confer's work for forty years. Her perspective as an artist is rooted in her belief that science and art are inextricably connected – both requiring keen observational skills and both seeking truth. Karen Allaben-Confer's work gorgeously exemplifies her thorough knowledge of avian biology, behavior, and ecology, further enriched by the support of her ornithologist husband, Dr. John L. Confer, and the guidance of her late friend and mentor, the great wildlife artist, Don R. Eckelberry.
