Created 2016.

This painting is part of the series, Plant, Animal, Mineral Medicine. This piece is silver with a thin transparent glaze of yellow, always changing in the light and atmosphere of the space because the metallic surface is reflective. This painting is inspired by the winged ones, the birds who act as messengers to our dreams. The image of feathers of a northern and a southern flicker woodpecker, a hawk, and a parrot circle represent the four directions in this medicine wheel.
