Chris Maynard was very interested in working with feathers since he was 12 years old. His unique artwork emotionally attracted art collectors, bird lovers, and other people from around the world. 

To keep his work absorbing, he combines his strong backgrounds in biology and ecology into not only his art, but also a tabletop book and engaging and informative talks on the beauty, function, and meaning of feathers. He is a member of Society of Animal Artists and Artists for Conservation.

“My work with feathers gives me a satisfying perch from which to view the world”, Chris Maynard wrote on his website.
