This past year, a Eurasian eagle-owl named Flaco made headlines and captured the hearts of people in New York City and around the world. Flaco escaped from the Central Park Zoo and lived successfully for about a year in the wilds of the city. Unfortunately, Flaco passed away in February of 2024. This piece is dedicated to the lively owl whose colorful personality brought joy to our lives. Created with watercolor markers and felt-tipped pen, I wanted to show Flaco in an array of colors to express how he made people feel—joyful and full of hope.
