As an artist, Dano Carver is drawn to the beauty and unique personality of birds. Living in Washington State, the artist is surrounded by an abundance of birds such as robins, Stellar’s jays, and hummingbirds. While these birds may be common, Dano Carver strives to paint them in a way that is anything but ordinary. Each painting is a celebration of color and texture, as the artist’s aim is to capture the unique beauty of each bird through a vivid and contrasting palette. It’s also an exploration of realism and imagination. While the birds are painted realistically, the artist often chooses to incorporate imaginative abstract forms, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. With each picture, take a moment to look a little deeper, and see if it has a story of its own, waiting to be revealed.
