Artwork inspired by the Totem exhibition at Modern Eden Gallery. Over the last few years, I have had a family of crows that visit me daily. This year (2022), as the parents and three babies crows were now older, they had finally open the door to allow me into their world. No longer content with allowing me to just watch as they congregated outside my window to feed, they now like to call to me and spend time with me as we all sit together outside in the afternoons.

We have created a relationship that is magical and I could not imagine a day walking out in my backyard to give a “Hello friends, where are you?. I wait each day patiently as I call to them and moments later watch in amazement as they come down from neighboring trees to greet me. As fall approaches, they started to visit less and less and I did not see any of the crow family. I know they are out there preparing for winter. So, I wait for a sign of their return… perhaps it won’t be until next spring.
