Aviary & Cage Birds

If you’ve visited my studio, you may have seen a sneak peek of these pieces, or looked through my collection of antique trading cards. These little cards would come in a box of tea, dry goods, or even a pack of cigarettes, and featured a beautiful picture on the front and some interesting facts on the back. I've enjoyed using them as an element in my work over the years. They make a return appearance in my work - this set of 5"x7" paintings all feature "Aviary and Cage Birds" from the 1930s.
