Steller’s Jay Song 6×6
Celebrating the spirit of this handsome bird and it’s bold song. Steller’s Jays have a grand presence at 12″ tall, and are common residents in North America. Found in backyards, forests, and wooded areas, they love peanuts in feeders as well as other plant seeds, berries and insects found in the wild. They are known for their dominance and keen ability to imitate other bird’s calls on occasion. Jays are said to represent strength, protection, intelligence and communication across various traditions.
Emergence – Winter’s Song Giclée Print 8 x 10
~Winter’s Song~ In the depths of winter it is still. The solitude of the garden beckons. It is spiritual, contemplative. In these quiet moments, new ideas emerge- new seeds to plant for the coming year! The blank canvas awaits. The everlasting frame endures, giving birth to new life once again. In the background of this piece is the vector equilibrium, proposed by Buckminster Fuller and often described as the blueprint by which nature forms energy into matter. This is a time of rest and hibernation, but also when things germinate. What is calling you?
Little Whistler Giclée print 8×10
I created Little Whistler (Northern Saw-whet Owl) for a show highlighting native species and conservation concerns on the Oregon Coast. The Northern Saw-whet is one of the smallest species of owls in North America and also across the Pacific Northwest (just 6-8 inches tall!). Its population is slowly declining. Habitat loss due to logging and other factors like climate impact its nesting/breeding grounds. Similar in size to a Robin or Jay, they are known for their unique whistling sound that is like a saw being sharpened on a whetstone. Other than its shrill sound, this little raptor is charming. They’re hard to spot but like to sit low in the branches- look in deciduous woods and forests along the coast and inland. Also known as Acadian owl, Charlotte owl, Kirkland’s owl, Saw-flier, Sparrow owl and White-fronted owl. Like all owls, it is said to be symbolic of sight, wisdom and mystery!
