“In creating this piece, I embraced the gentle transitions within the feather, using my hand-made pigment, Rocky Mountain #5, to achieve the subtle play of blues and grays. My brushstrokes are loose yet deliberate, allowing the feather to almost whisper against the white canvas, while tiny splatters dance around it like a soft, rhythmic melody. Through careful layering and blending, I aimed to invite a sense of balance and ease, crafting a space that feels both grounded and free.”
