Olivia Bouler

Aspiring ornithologist, artist, and saxophone player, eleven year-odl Olivia Bouler of Islip, New York, said she wept when she heard about the oil spill in the Gulf Coast, a place where she spent many vacations with her cousins and grandparents who live in Louisiana and Alabama. Knowing birds were going to suffer, she had to take action.  




Inspired by her hero James Audubon, Olivia wrote to the Audubon Society about her fundraising idea, using her talent as an artist to give bird drawings to those who donated to wildlife recovery efforts. Olivia drew and donated 500 original drawings, and AOL distributed thousands of prints on her behalf.
