CANCELED: March 2020 Conservation Icons: Obi Kaufmann

See California’s rivers, lakes, mountains, wildlife and more through the unique visual lens of artist, illustrator and naturalist Obi Kaufmann, author of the bestselling “The California Field Atlas,” and the recently released “The State of Water: Understanding California’s Most Precious Resource.” Kaufmann is one of Lindsay Wildlife’s Conservation Icons and will be at Lindsay 6 p.m., Saturday, March 28.

Having set aside a career as a gallery artist to capture the state’s trails, parks and wildlife in luminous watercolor, Kaufmann combines his prose and visuals in fascinating books that serve as interpretive guides to California’s precious resources. He has worked as an art critic, a tattoo artist, and creative storyteller for the Oakland-based Juniper Ridge wild craft fragrance company.

Kaufmann is one of eight speakers participating in Lindsay’s 2019-2020 Conservation Icons speaker series. Now in its third year, the series aims to educate, entertain, inspire change and foster respect for the planet we share.
