How Birds See II: contemporary abstract painting w/ bird in white green & purple
By Deirdre Murphy
Located in Bryn Mawr, PA
"How Birds See II" is a musing on birds ability to see a greater variety of colors than humans. Murphy imagines that they see a patterned spectrum of colors and chroma that pops like flowers.
"As an artist, my paintings, prints, sculpture and public art are made with the attentiveness of a scientist, observing our natural world beyond the visible surface. My interest lies in the interconnected qualities of art and science, specifically the micro / macro patterns that reveal our connectedness; be it migratory avian flight patterns shared commonality with immigration routes, or how light pollution maps mirror viral molecular patterns, or aerial views of watershed systems that reveal vascular patterns. Through the act of creating, I am aware of being both infinitesimally minute and integrally part of a larger whole. It is this dichotomy and the vastness of these images that provides perspective to our humanity."

Causeway, Original Contemporary Abstract Painting, Green and Blue Painting
By Jon Rowland
Located in Deddington, GB
The simplicity of the space, colour, and focus in this work is very different to much of my work. It is the coming together of these elements at the start of the second 'lockdown' that reflected issues of normality and the desire for change to a simpler more relevant approach to life. Surprising that the journey should have resulted in this painting.

Long Distance Flyer -- contemporary abstract landscape painting in blue w/ birds
By Deirdre Murphy
Located in Bryn Mawr, PA
This work reflects on avian nocturnal migration and how birds navigate by the stars. The colorful geometric shapes symbolize the birds' ability to see beyond our human limits and also acts as a formal playground to muse about color theory and the optics of seeing.
"Long Distance Flyer" is signed on the back, and elegantly and simply framed in a 1/2" reveal whitewashed maple floater frame. It has been exhibited in the Philadelphia area at Boxheart Gallery, Pittsburgh, PA and Gross McCleaf Gallery, Philadelphia, PA.
