“Polar Energy”
24″ x 36″
sold
Electric color bristles off of this bear. Oranges, blues, teal tingle and tease each other. She traveled a great distance when purchased as a surprise present for my Ravenista’s husband. This bears den is over the couch in the family room. The most ‘used’ room in the house. She energizes their home and her family energizes her.

Chairman of the Board
18″ x 24″
sold
This bear emerged out of the pigment and announced he was done. The falconer walked in the room and proclaimed, “Well, it is the Chairman of the Board!” And so it is. He guards his home with dignity. Chosen by the Ravenista to greet all who enter.

“Feathers”

Sandhill cranes bring the midnight sun to the interior of Alaska. Their arrival is a celebration of summer. Prehistoric feathers strut around the field demand my attention. I stare at their yoga moves with admiration. How can they stand on one leg and bury their head in feathers to take a nap? I paint the majesty of her feathers while she hunts for bugs. Summer color surrounds us. Her feathers are protected and cherished in my Ravenista’s new home in Anchorage.

“Promise”
24″ x 18″
sold
She sails over the snow. This bear might even be flying. Or is she diving into the sea? Featherly fur lit up by sun. The falconer calls her ‘Angel’. But I call her ‘Promise’ because the bright sunshine and color reminds me of the promise of spring. She flew to her new home and is content.
