What people are saying about Aves.

“Kerry’s photographs represent a sophisticated contemporary interpretation of the relationship of humans to birds—in life, mythology, and art. He captures the seemingly magical essence that has fascinated us throughout time.”

— Renée Dreyfus, Distinguished Curator of Ancient Art, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco

“The first Kerry Tremain bird photograph I ever saw was an image of a common crow. It was beautiful, evocative, mysterious, and anything but common. Across this collection, you see and feel the work of a true master, a true lover of the avian world.”

— Bill Curtsinger, veteran photographer for National Geographic and author of Extreme Nature

“Kerry Tremain’s aviary photography is a true jewel in the world of art, combining a deep understanding of composition, color and nature. His knowledge and love for birds comes through in the poetry of these remarkable images. ”

— Steve Brodner, award-winning illustrator, cartoonist, and journalist, and instructor at School of Visual Arts.

“Beguiling photographs... Tremain appropriates the visual cues of traditional nature-based imagery, which are then fused with elements of poetry and lyricism.” 

— LensCulture

“AVES is the plural of bird in Latin, Avis, but it is also a word that seems to perch at the intersection of description and suggestion where the magnificent photographs in this collection reside.”
