About the Artwork:

Honorable Mention from Oil Painters of America Fall Showcase 2024
Featured in Southwest Art Magazine, June/July 2025

A white-tailed kite perches alone, one wing relaxed, its posture calm but coiled with potential energy. There’s a powerful quiet in this moment, a hunter in repose, fully aware of the world around her. In Stormy Feather, I set out to capture that strength in stillness, and to explore how tension and beauty can exist at once.

Behind the kite, the storm builds over distant mountains. I was drawn to the contrast, how storms often trail light, and how skies can be golden in one place and deep violet in another. It became a personal challenge to explore this push and pull of atmosphere using yellow and purple throughout the piece, allowing the sky to shape the mood as much as the bird. The composition was built with purpose, and finished with signature impasto brushwork to create texture, weight, and presence. You can see it in the storm clouds, in the subtle shifts across her wings, and in the feeling of wind moving just behind.

This piece was awarded Honorable Mention in the Oil Painters of America Fall Showcase 2024, and selected for a half-page artist spotlight with the OPA in Southwest Art Magazine’s June/July 2025 issue. It’s part of an ongoing series of raptor paintings where I explore emotional presence, color theory, and the ways nature speaks through posture and pause. Stormy Feather is painted on gallery-wrapped canvas, with all visible edges finished for a modern presentation that may be displayed with or without a frame.
