Quote from artist: "Early spring has been chilly this year. There is yet no showing of chartreuse colored new foliage brushing the tips of tree branches nor brave heads of crocus cracking through frozen soil. The calendar is marked with the start of spring but in the northeast of the states there is still no yielding to our season of rebirth.But then there are the birds. Each year the excited twittering, calling, cooing, chortling, chirping, cawing chatter heralds the arrival of what we cannot see or feel well before it's obvious to us. The excitement is shared from species to species as birds prepare to migrate, build nests, eat and mate. Their chorus of excited voices is so prevalent it reminds us that beautiful days are coming as they always do if we are listening. My new embroidered art pieces; (Morning Song, The Conversation, Spring) are celebrations of the community of wild birds interacting with their surroundings and with each other."
