Huckelbirdie

This striking artwork captures a mated pair of black-capped chickadees alongside Alaska's native red huckleberry—a favored food source in their natural habitat. What distinguishes this piece is its unconventional medium: rather than canvas, the composition is rendered directly onto a blacktail deer antler, creating a fully three-dimensional work that wraps organically around the form. The result is a sculptural painting that invites viewing from multiple angles.
