Prominent local butterfly expert and artist Liam O’Brien has been painting on some path, in front of some bush, capturing some butterfly for the last three years in the Presidio. It has culminated in a book (written with Matthew Zlatunich) for the Presidio Trust: The Butterflies of the Presidio. This exhibit is a distillation of hundreds of field sketches, close-up portraits and the ten large tableaus that are the cornerstone of the book.
