Winged & Whispered is an exhibit centered around the theme of birds, bugs, and other flying creatures by artists working in a variety of styles and mediums. The artists in this group either share imagery literally – as in creatures with wings; birds, butterflies, moths, insects, angels, etc., or imply the feeling of wings or flight through atmosphere, environment, lighting etc. Additionally, the works intersect under the umbrella of “poetic realism” as a group of works that convey a sense of magic, mystery and/or transformation that brings to mind visual poetry.

I fell in love with moths as a child, finding them like magical messengers drawn to our light from another realm, especially the ones that appeared suddenly out of complete darkness with their hidden flashes of color. The luna is perhaps the most astonishing, with its otherworldly hue, brief life span and rare appearances….Over the last two years I raised luna moths in a netted cage inside my studio’s bay window; immersing myself with my subject in order to capture something of their mysterious poetry.”
