“In this painting, I used the gentle earth tones of my hand-made pigment, Rocky Mountain #5, to capture a blend of subtle browns, grays, and soft golds. The feather's delicate edges are formed with flowing brushstrokes that gracefully fade into the white background, enhanced by dynamic splatters and drips that suggest movement and life. Through this piece, I wanted to capture how something fragile can endure and transform, celebrating its quiet strength and fresh beginnings.”
