This watercolor of the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker was painted by Joanna Blake '99.  This is Blake's most recent contribution to COSAM.  She worked with AU Art Professor Gary Wagoner to design and construct the frieze, mosaic and bronze portrait reliefs displayed on each of the Sciences Center buildings.
