Rainbow Gaia

Gaia is an owl from the Maine Center for Wildlife who completely captured my attention. She is a rescue and an ambassador animal helping people learn about and appreciate the wildlife around us. But honestly it was her eyes that got me first - those incredible bright yellow eyes. She's so beautiful and full of character that I found myself painting her again and again. Each painting became another way of seeing her striking eyes, feathers and quiet watchful presence. Gaia is one of those subjects I never seem to tire of painting. I love that her image can help share a little of her story with everyone who wears or brings home her design.
