Georgia bird series...

This series of paintings explores the quiet brilliance of local Georgia birds through intimate, botanical settings. Each piece captures a single bird perched among foliage, inviting viewers into a momnet of stillness and natural wonder. Using bold color choices and detailed brushwork, I seek to honor the individuality of each bird while celebrating their connection to the environment. The stylized plants and shifting background tones create an interplay between realism and imagination, giving the work a dreamlike quality. These paintings reflect my ongoing fascination with birds as a symbol of resilience, power and delicate strength. They are a meditation on presence and beauty in the everyday.
