The American White Pelican is known to “vacation” at the LSU Bird Sanctuary located on University Lake. Recent restoration work revealed a dirty little secret, loads of trash also calling the lake home. I have collected many large bags of bottles and other items to be up-cycled into a special series called Don’t Trash Me in an effort to draw attention to the issue. A bird sanctuary with litter in it just isn’t right! “The Magic of Me” is the 4th painting in this series.
