About the work

Native Americans believe that all natural things within the universe, including birds, have souls or spirits. Bird feathers represent freedom, power, wisdom, honor, and trust. The Peacock feather, in particular, symbolizes dignity, renewal, and awakening. This watercolor painting is part of a series of visual investigations into the beautiful and repetitive patterns found in bird feathers. When you're feeling "blah", just take a look at the glorious, techno-color display the Peacock feather provides. In no time, you'll be in a mood to embrace your own nobility, walking tall and proud as a Peacock too!
