A little world of awkward yet elegant birds is taking shape. After years of my quirky birds stealing the limelight from my broader work as a painter, these vibrant and expressive oddlings are taking on new forms. Their postures began as an exploration of my internal contradictions– the kinds we often hold all at once. Insecure yet audacious, fearful yet flamboyant, each bird carries these tensions with honesty and charm, revealing the humor in our humanness. They are imperfect, colorful, curious and full of life, and soon, they will be revealing their next evolution! But for now, you can find them as paintings, prints and sculptures.
