One-of-a-Kind | 4" x 4" Artwork on a 4" x 4" Archival Multimedia Panel
Have you ever seen a hummingbird stretch wide before lift-off? It’s like a slingshot moment. Tension builds, wings flare out, and then it’s gone. A flash of movement and color, leaving you wondering if it was real or just a blink.
I still remember watching them from our kitchen window growing up. They’d come in full of purpose, chasing each other around, staking their claim at the feeder. But every so often, one would pause just long enough to give you a glimpse of something quieter. That tiny stillness, full of potential.
"Desert Prism" captures that edge-of-launch energy. This Rufous Hummingbird is mid-stretch, its feathers flaring in a burst of copper, garnet, and a flicker of green. The composition is tight and focused, filled with that forward force that hummingbirds carry when they’re about to take flight.
This piece is about motion on the verge. That feeling of being so alive, so charged, that even stillness feels like movement.
Created with meticulous precision using professional-grade color pencils on archival pastel panel, this one-of-a-kind original is a timeless addition to any fine art collection.

The Moment Before the Flight
This is the second right before everything takes off.
Wings stretch, the body leans forward, and the hum builds.
"Desert Prism" glows with light and motion. The feathers flare in amber and rose, a shimmer of citrine in the throat. I drew it to feel like movement is just a breath away.
This is a glimpse into that rare moment when the wild shows you its fire and lets you witness it before it disappears.
