This piece was meant to be a birthday card and is part of my exotic bird series. There are also totes and other products for this design.

This piece was painted around 2009, in watercolors (with ink for details).

I have shown my work in galleries and through juried shows at art centers and museums. Some notables include The Delaware Art Museum, Haverford Center of the Arts,...
