Artist Statement

The Sao Tome Grosbeak is a critically endangered and mysterious bird of the island of Sao Tome in the West African Gulf of Guinea. It is double the size of most seedeaters, with a correspondingly large bill. When it was discovered in 1888, taxonomists couldn’t agree on what kind of bird it was. Then, it disappeared for over 100 years, and was not recorded again until 1991, but it still is very rare.
