Nights Flight, Original Painting

2023

Artist Comments
Artist Alana Clumeck presents an image of an elk surrounded by two cockatoos and a kaleidoscope of butterflies. "I was struck by the sheer volume of parrots flying in the sky," shares Alana. She combines the nocturnal butterflies with inspiration from her two homes—the Black Cockatoo paired with the Elk. A visit to her native homeland, Australia, wildly inspires the contemporary piece.

About the Artist
Australian-born Alana Clumeck was raised by artistic parents who owned a pottery studio during her youth. Although she grew up throwing pots, it wasn’t until she was pregnant with her second child that she began painting as creative therapy. For Alana, being an artist is entwined with motherhood. She works from her home studio, so she often paints while watching her children play. When the kids are at school, painting becomes precious meditative time alone. “Since my discovery of art came as a form of therapy, I still use it to paint out my thoughts or feelings,” says Alana. “I will often use symbolism within my paintings to represent how I feel.”
