Langham Collection — Belted Kingfisher Size:18x18 Crafted using archival-quality materials

Crafted using archival-quality materials

The black facial mask and yellow throat create graphic markings that are bold for such a small bird

and wing flaps that looks like pure celebration

and commits to the choreography that has defined its species for millions of years

each exploring a different phase of flight and hunting

Langham Collection — Belted Kingfisher Size:18x18 Crafted using archival-quality materialsThis Langham Collection bird print comes from a body of work I created for The Langham Hotel Boston a two year collaboration that placed my watercolors in the hotels guest rooms as permanent art in residence. The Langham selected four species blue jay, tree swallow, great blue heron, and belted kingfisher for their connection to New Englands natural landscape, and I painted each one specifically for the intimate scale and quiet light of a hotel room.
