Sketchbook and camera in hand, Molly Hashimoto explores the wild areas of the western United States to create prints and paintings of its peaks, abundant flora, and native birds in their natural habitats. Near her home in the Pacific Northwest, encountering a great blue heron resting beside a waterway, with a crisp mountain large in the distance, is a fortuitous but casual moment. For this calendar, she delights us with a dozen hand-tinted prints of the region’s avian residents.
