Hummingbird in Prism

20" x 24", Oil on Wood Panel with Silver Leaf.

The hummingbirds symbolizes hope, joy and optimism. The angles in this hummingbird's environment are created by the hummingbird's shape and movement. This illustrates our ability to participate in the shaping of our life experiences. We can create our joy!

The colors in this painting also suggest the power we have to spread our joy to the space around us.

As I've said, I've come to the realization that the hummingbird represents me in my latest series. Globally, the hummingbird represents all of us who are out for a sense of adventure and involving ourselves in our surroundings. We have the power to influence the world with our positive energy- to bring color and our curiosity to those around us.

Hummingbird with Yellow Flowers

This painting was created using the geometrics of the hummingbird form. I like the fact that the hummingbird form fits perfectly in a kite shape. I wanted this painting to evoke a feeling of optimism by using color, subject matter and shape to make it soar!

San Diego Hummingbird

Just finished another painting for an upcoming show. I've come to the realization that I am the hummingbird in many of my paintings. Drawing and painting are such amazing processes for me. When I get lost in the process of painting, it's like stream of consciousness writing. One of the interesting parts of the painting process is standing back when the painting is completed and analyze it as if it were a dream to try to understand.

This week I was certainly influenced by the spectacular sunrises and sunsets. I also took notice of the natal plum plants growing in a shopping center parking lot. When I saw the star-like flowers, I thought it would be interesting to pair them with a starlit sky.
