In the “Reflecting Nature” collection, I explored the beauty and complexity of the modern family navigating the pressures of the 21st Century through the depiction of birds’ nests nestled into polished glass vases, bell jars, and other reflective surfaces. Sanctuary, a 12″ x 12″ original acrylic painting, is special due to the uniquely balanced composition, created by the off-centered birds’ nest nestled into a reflective, geometric goblet. Also, the spotted eggshells and spotted feathers highlight the beauty of natural patterns.
