Carefully Selected Natural Materials
Each artwork features carefully selected turkey, goose, raven, or crow feathers.
Feathers are chosen for their natural colour, pattern, texture, and symbolic meaning. Organic variation is embraced, allowing each piece to reflect the individuality of the feather and the teachings it carries.
Preservation and Craftsmanship
All feathers are cleaned, preserved, and mounted with care to maintain their integrity and delicate texture.
The process prioritizes respect for the material, ensuring the feather remains visually strong while retaining its natural softness and detail.
Shadow Box Presentation
Feather artworks are displayed in shadow boxes ranging from 8 × 10 inches to 30 × 40 inches.
This presentation:
Protects the feathers from dust and damage
Adds depth and dimensionality
Allows viewers to appreciate fine details up close
Each shadow box is crafted to support both preservation and visual impact.
Symbolism and Storytelling
The artwork incorporates Indigenous symbolism and storytelling, with each feather representing teachings, traits, or ancestral connections.
These pieces invite reflection on identity, responsibility, and relationship to the natural world, without overwhelming the viewer with explanation.
Unique and One-of-a-Kind Works
No two feather pieces are the same.
Each artwork highlights the organic differences in size, shape, and colour found in nature. This ensures every piece remains one-of-a-kind and deeply personal.
