Hidden In Plain Sight

While cleaning up the yard, I was suddenly zoomed by a hummingbird.  I glanced over my shoulder to see that the feeder was full and so went on about cleaning up. I was zoomed again and but this time much closer. I stood up to see what the fuss was about and ended up eye level with the tiniest nest I’d ever seen.  Mama had built it right on top of a pinecone and I could just see over the lip that there were two teeny eggs inside. As the weeks progressed I was thrilled by the hatching and growth of the babies. Still, I questioned the sanity of building on top of a pinecone. Then again, any creature that can build a nest out of leaf debris and spider webs…with their nose…has to have some design skills, right? About two weeks after the babies flew away, the pinecone fell off the tree. I was so glad that the mama had zoomed me as I would have missed the whole thing-even though her nest was hidden in plain sight.

BTW, did you know that a portion of all dhSeadragon sales goes toward groups that protect, help rehabilitate, and act as stewards for our wildlife.

What can I create for you?

dhSeadragon

  My years at the University of Arizona in Tucson, AZ provided me with a wealth of opportunity to expand my background in art.  I was no longer confined to a small studio and therefore could make my projects mammoth if I chose to do so.  I was able to try my hand at set design, wood working, lights, etc…but I found that working with metal gave me the most satisfaction.
While in college, we were assigned the task of creating a nom de plume. dh is the first letter of my first and last name. Seadragon is a nickname dubbed to me by my father.
After graduating with my degree in fine art, the name stayed with me. Today, most of my art is signed dhSeadragon.
