Birds and Butterflies

Birds and butterflies are  popular artistic themes. Here at The Gift Shop, our artists have created some lovely artworks with those subjects in mind.
This week we will look at the work of Kelly Wojdyla-Gray, Irma Reinboth, and Daren Dundee.

Kelly Wojdyla-Gray (WOJ) is a painter. Here are three of her framed, original watercolor bird portraits.

Irma Reinboth (REI) uses a paining method called "Wood Batik". The process calls for paint and dyes to be used directly onto wood. The results have a rich depth that allows the wood grain to show through.

Daren Dundee (DD) is a photographer and a collager. He often uses found objects to create 2D and 3D art.
Here is his framed 3D butterfly collage.
