A few years ago, I came into contact with a feather headdress from the Amazon. It had been a gift to a gentleman who had stayed with a tribe for the summer. As it was handed to me, to frame it, it felt like grabbing a power line with bare hands! Suddenly my life snapped into clarity! I was to create feather work! For weeks I couldn't sleep and didn't care to eat. All I could do was draw the designs as they came to me. Then I finally made connections to get feathers and started making the designs real.
The feathers are naturally shed and come from parrot rescue groups and rare bird aviaries. They sell the feathers to pay for the care of their incredible birds.
I can paint feathers to order for you. Framed 5x7=95.00, Framed 8x10= 145.00 to 165.00, Framed 9x17 = 225.00 to 265.00. Email me for frame options. I generally mount sea life to old florida charts and frame with old lobster trap wood. I also use a beautiful walnut burl veneer frame (hand made in Italy) for a more refined finish.
I am slowly adding to my show schedule. Here are the newest ones you can see my art at.
