This piece for the Albino-themed show, "Pigment Deficient", portrays two albino mourning doves perched upon a goat skull, and an albino hummingbird drinking from narcissus flowers.  The narcissus stands for egotism, self-love, and self-esteem in Floriography (the Victorian language of flowers).





"Divining Treasures"
acrylic on birch panel
11 x 14 inches, framed
2012
SOLD

This painting features an albino white arctic fox, seated next to a human skull, and wearing the Discover Treasures Amulet, with a divining rod above.  The talisman allows the wearer to discover all manner of treasures and then ensures their possession.  An albino bat hangs from the divining rod, which is used to find missing items and buried artifacts, locate energy lines, find underground water, metal, or more.  
Bleeding hearts (elegance and fidelity) and magnolia (sweetness, beauty, perseverance) adorn the scene, and a magpie perches on the fox, keeping her company.

The magpie perched upon a crystal ball holds the Help Read Thoughts Talisman, which allows the wearer to read the thoughts of others and also lets the possessor into any desired house at will.
Below are two albino crows flanking the crystal and Japanese lilies which represent "You cannot deceive me".




Here's the flyer for the show, which was curated by Heather Gargon and also features Zoe Williams, Caitlin Hackett, Angie Mason, Alison Silva, Jenny Harada, Suzanne Falk and Allison Sommers.

I will be attending the show in Philadelphia this Saturday!
