Chris Maynard
Hyacinth, hand-carved feather sculpture

2017

About the Item

This piece titled "Hyacinth" is an original artwork made from a blue and gold Macaw shed wing feather on cotton paper by Chris Maynard. This piece is shipped in the pictured black frame and measures 14”h x 12”w. Chris Maynard has worked with feathers since he was twelve. His unique feather shadowboxes are recognized by art collectors, bird lovers, and a wide and interesting variety of people from around the world. He only has time to turn a small portion of his ideas, which fill many notebooks, into his shadow box feather designs. His favorite tools are the tiny eye surgery scissors, forceps, and magnifying glasses passed down through his family. Maynard combines his strong backgrounds in biology and ecology into not only his art, but also a tabletop book and engaging and informative talks on the beauty, function, and meaning of feathers. He is a member of Artists for Conservation. His artwork may be found in the permanent collections of the Crowne Plaza Hotel, N Augusta, SC; the Federal Reserve, Washington DC; the Zhejiang Museum of Natural History, Hangzhou, China; the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, Winslow, WA; the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, Wausau, WI; Group Health Orthopedics, Olympia, WA; the Marriott Park Lane Hotel, London; the Park Hyatt hotel, Mallorca, Spain; the City of Olympia, University of Washington Medical Center; and private collections in North America, Europe, Australia, China, Brazil, Japan, and New Zealand. His artwork has been featured in American Art Collector Magazine, Southwest Art Magazine, Professional Artist Magazine, Sandu Cultural Media, Alchemy—The Art and Craft of Illustration, Western Art and Architecture, Covey Rise: Rendering Feathers, and National Geographic Magazine.
