Story / Additional InfoThe artist is a bird lover, having owned many cockatiels over the years. This painting was created during Covid and speaks to the artist's desire to escape the strictures of the situation. Her mother often rescued fledglings and nursed them back to health exemplified by the boy holding the baby bird underscoring the theme of nurturing as do the nest and eggs. Other common symbols for this artist relate to her Hispanic heritage in the peppers and the cactus. Bright yellow dominance of color also highlights the themes.
