One-of-a-Kind | 4" x 4" Artwork on a 4" x 4" Archival Multimedia Panel
Have you ever had a hummingbird stop right in front of you, wings buzzing but completely still in the air? They’ll stare at you for a second, curious and bold, like they’re trying to figure out who you are.
When I was growing up, we always had a feeder outside our kitchen window. My dad made sure it was filled every spring, and we’d watch hummingbirds zip through the yard from morning to dusk. They were always in motion, darting, chasing, and standing their ground at the feeder.
Sometimes they’d fly into each other so hard they’d fall to the ground. I remember picking one up gently to check if it was okay. After a few seconds, it would shake itself off and fly right back into the mix. I loved how their feathers shimmered in the light, changing with every tiny movement.
That’s what made me fall in love with hummingbirds. I still pause every time I see one.
"Desert Radiance" features a Rufous Hummingbird, framed by pale yellow palo verde blooms. Its chest gleams with a soft glow, and the angle of its gaze gives it a quiet confidence. There’s warmth here, but also a spark of something bold and unshakable.
This piece is about the moment when everything lines up just right. The bird is still, the light catches just so, and you're close enough to notice the shimmer in its feathers. You hold your breath, hoping the moment lasts just a second longer.

A Spark in Stillness
Hummingbirds are rarely still, but when they pause, everything else feels like it's holding position.
"Desert Radiance" captures that flash of gold, rose, and violet just before movement resumes. The Rufous Hummingbird is perched among palo verde flowers, feathers glowing like sunlit gems.
This isn’t a resting pose. It’s the kind of pause that hums with energy, like a held breath before liftoff.
The moment may be fleeting, but it leaves an impression that lingers.
