Sparrow Songs (Diptych)
Original watercolor with colored pencil, 2023.
This diptych shows two sparrow species on opposite sides of the country. The sagebrush sparrow represents the landscape of the sagebrush steppe in eastern Washington, a unique and dwindling habitat that needs to be preserved for species like this sparrow to survive. Across the country on the coast of Maine, the saltmarsh sparrow nests in the intertidal zone—an evolutionary adaptation that is threatened by sea level rise. These two species are both faced with a changing world—they live distinct lives thousands of miles apart yet share similar dangers and pursuits.
Each piece is 6”x8” and they are sold as a pair. These pieces each come matted.
