Umber’s minimalist paintings manage to convey, in three colors, the beauty, ferocity, devotion, and sheer heart of a pair of great horned owls bringing three chicks into the world. I’m taken by the economy of line and rightness of gesture in these deceptively simple paintings.|--Julie Zickefoose, author & illustrator ofBaby Birds: An Artist Looks Into the Nest,The Bluebird Effect: Uncommon Bonds with Common Birds, andLetters from Eden: A Year at Home, In the Woods ”Umber beautifully uses comic form to take the reader through intimate movements in nature|--Aidan Koch, author ofAfter Nothing Comes |Maggie Umber’s work is simultaneously a breathless, quiet stretch and an enormous, orchestral voice.
