The Messengers
Artist Statement:
As a volunteer at the Open Door Bird Sanctuary in Jacksonport, I am grateful for the unique opportunity to interact closely with the raptors of this region. I am consistently captivated by the almost otherworldly presence and consciousness these magnificent animals exude. Through the medium of acrylic paint, I strive to capture the surreal depth of their being—an essence that words alone cannot fully convey.
