About the Artwork

Dimensions: 12”x16”

Original pen and ink drawing with gold leaf on archival Arches Hot press Watercolour paper.

Sun in talons, wings outstretched, an infinite sky that will hold you. This bird reminds you, that your power has never been elsewhere, always here, within.

‘Between Earth and Sky’ Collection
Throughout history, humankind has had a deep connection to birds. Over and over they are featured in art, poetry, song and dance.  I have always been fascinated and inspired by birds and wanted to create a series that honours these winged messengers. This collection of original drawings looks to birds as symbols of freedom, power, transcendence and hope.

As a bird soars high

In the free holding of the wind,

Clear of the certainty of the ground,

Opening the imagination of wind.

Into the grace of emptiness,

May your life awaken

To the call of its freedom.

-From the poem ‘For Freedom’ by John O’Donohue
