Crow Spirit Rising Print 8×10
~Crow Spirit Rising~
Honoring the spirit of crow and the tradition of shamanism, this piece came about after I had been noticing crows for a while. Sometimes they would talk, sometimes just one would appear. One day on my walk home, my pulse pounded as I suddenly saw a dead headless crow lying by a tree before me. Feeling the need to transform and honor that crow’s life, as well as to promote the importance of our connection to nature I created this piece.
This richly-colored print shows the detailed texture of paper collage and acrylic medium in the original painting.
