“With this piece, I sought to capture the delicate balance of nature using the deep, earth-tones of my hand-made pigment Rocky Mountain #6. The soft transitions between the feathers' edges and the whispery brushstrokes highlight their ethereal beauty, while the gentle spots evoke a sense of timeless resilience. Through subtle blends and intentional splatters, I aimed to convey a feeling of reverence and the quiet dignity of giving.”
