The Series That Won Two Blue Ribbons
These artworks are dedicated to the hummingbirds of our garden,
my son named "Hummingbird Haven".
When I decided to participate in this year's La Jolla Art & Wine Festival,
I began to brainstorm ideas from my international travels,
local San Diego venues and the endless inspirations I have collected.
This first image spoke to my soul on a summer night, in my own backyard,
that grew into over 60 new artworks celebrating the cherished hummingbird.
