Butterfly Tree Debbi Swanson Patrick

Digital Print on Metal 24" x 20" $550

This is a jungle of critters hanging out on a fantasy tree. They are butterflies, dragonflies, even an agile kitten, with jewels represeting the flowers. I love assembling odd objects and objects I love together on the scanner for a new adventure. They even have a little spending money to enjoy on their favorite snacks.

Mariposa Nest Debbi Swanson Patrick

Digital Print on Metal 14" x 10" $350

Much of my art is all about healing and salvation. This piece, “Mariposa Nest,” is an ode to the butterflies that fly through in the spring just as birds are hatching in their nests. I wonder how they get enough rest for their long journeys. This is a hummingbird nest found on the street, offered for their respite. Included are vintage brooches, portions of a flower bulb, and a background of deep blue representing both sky and water.
