“In creating this piece, I embraced the earthy tones of my hand-made Rocky Mountain #5 pigment, using soft browns and gentle grays to capture the delicate strength of a feather. I focused on subtle transitions and layering, allowing the brushstrokes to flow naturally, while splatters and drips bring a sense of life and movement. Each mark conveys a story of quiet persistence and the invisible bonds that tie us together, reflecting my commitment to capturing both the fragility and the enduring spirit of nature.”
