In the persona of naturalist and artist John James Audubon, Ellis brings history, ecology, art and literature to life in a meticulously researched program that celebrates the life work of one of America's greatest artist and naturalist! Ellis portrays Audubon in entertaining and meticulously researched monologues drawing from Audubon's journals, essays, and letters to his friends and colleagues. This program was developed with a grant from the USFWS as part of their celebration of the 100th anniversary of the National Wildlife Refuge System. Ellis has performed as Audubon in museums, nature centers, schools and libraries across the United States, including Audubon's home in Henderson, Kentucky.
