Katrina Van Grouw

Katrina van Grouw’s long and varied career has bridged the divide between art and science, but always with birds at the centre. A former bird ringer, preparator of museum specimens, curator of ornithology collections at a major museum, and an expert in historical bird art, she is a self-taught scientist with a lifelong passion for birds, landscapes, and the natural world. Katrina’s life has been shaped by her forty-year journey to bring this magnum opus to fruition. Her books include The Unfeathered Bird and Unnatural Selection (both Princeton).
