The hand cut paper hawk is mounted relief style on acrylic painted canvas. Birds are so beautiful in their displays on landing, and I wanted to catch the moment here as this hawk reaches out with its talons for a branch. The edges have been left ragged as it emphasizes the natural environment the bird would be seen in. Straight edges would make the work less spontaneous and wild.

I am a self-taught visual artist, as well as a regularly published fiction writer and multi-optioned screenwriter. I’m grateful to have an international reach in all the arts I practice, as connecting to things and people outside my experience excites me and makes me happy. To me, life is mysterious and spiritual, and when it needs to be spoken of, I think art, any art, is the best language to speak about that mystery. I work with papers, acrylics and mixed medias, often in relief style where my works have the qualities of abstract painting, design, and sculpture all bound dramatically and beautifully together. I think this is the result of a night in Niagara Falls when I was 6 years old. Ask me about that if we meet in person.
