'Between Earth & Sky' collection, pen & ink with gold leaf
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
