Flourish and Decay

“Flourish and Decay” addresses the themes of life, death, and spirituality. Inspired by chance encounters with three dead crows, these pieces celebrate the natural world and explore the beauty found in death and decay. Bright pastel colors draw the eye and paper elements expand past the confines of the canvas, capturing the vibrancy of the crow’s spirit. While depicting the act of death and decay, these pieces are not melancholy, but celebratory. They work to honor and commemorate the crow’s life as well as its death.
