The view from my window is divided my window’s metal frame, through which I enjoy the tree outside, up close, from a bird’s-eye view. Trees are incredibly generous beings, offering cool shade, food, shelter and a gathering place. Numerous birds play and live in this particular tree, singing and chirping to each other all day.

Sharing space with this tree, birds and squirrels fills me with joy. Despite being surrounded by driveways and multi-family dwellings, somehow this tiny space feels vast when I’m present with the life here. This painting honors that wondrous, spacious feeling of being part of this ecosystem.

I followed an intuitive process over multiple layers that led to the painting you see here. If you look carefully, you’ll see the history of layers beneath, symbolizing the importance of connecting with the lifeforce around us.
