A delicate bird's nest cradles four speckled eggs. Artist Jennifer Ross has incorporated her signature eggshell technique in this piece. The gel medium used for the strands adds texture and depth to the composition. The title invites reflection on one’s ideas of home, protection, and the quiet spaces where life begins and thrives.
About the Artist
Artist Jennifer Ross finds inspiration in gathering and replicating fragments of nature. "Birds, nests, eggs, and horses represent my realization that life embodies a tension between wanting security and the love of freedom," says Jennifer. Through her art, she aspires to convey a healing power inspired by the living world. Jennifer initially aspired to follow her mother and grandfather's artistic path but took a detour and began a decade-long career working in art galleries, selling the artwork of others, and doing framing design. Eventually, her creative soul persisted. She began experimenting with small pastel...
