Bird & Bloom

from $40.00

A striking mixed-media collage featuring a whimsical, vibrant bird (like a Painted Bunting) perched on a structured geometry of patterns, bright florals, and abstract landscape cuts. This piece represents the bold spirit of the Southern outdoors, blending the tactile memory of vintage paper with a vibrant, modern composition. The cold-pressed watercolor paper provides a beautiful, visible texture that complements the intricate, hand-cut layers.

Part of the “Garden and Gun Series”

The pieces in this collection are built from a box of vintage Garden & Gun magazines that belonged to my late father. As I worked with these images, I found myself exploring the lush Southern landscapes I haven’t yet traveled, blending his memories with my own sense of curiosity and whimsy.
