As the year closes and a new beginning rises, the eagle soars beneath the sun’s radiant light. Its wings carry the wisdom of the skies, while the salmon below, its chosen source of sustenance, reminds us of life’s cycles and the skill required to endure them. In the distance, Mother Earth flows gently through the Skagit Valley, grounding the eagle’s flight with her nurturing strength. Together, these elements embody resilience, freedom, and the sacred balance of life.
The eagle, illuminated from above and nourished from below, lives with pride and strength within the harmony of the cosmos.
I would like to thank the “Skagit River Interpretive Center“ for allowing me to illustrate another year of artwork in support of their mission to educate the public about the health and well-being of our beautiful eagles in the Pacific Northwest. This marks my fourth year creating art for their cause, and it is an honor to contribute to such meaningful work. To know more about the organization, go to https://skagiteagle.org/
Thank you 💕✨
