Cactus Gallery is pleased to present THE SONG OF THE BIRDS, our 6th annual bird themed group show. People have always been fascinated by animals. Birds, in particular, seem to have sacred and secular meanings, which can be positive and negative, and their use is evident in religion, music, mythological tales, and visual art. These feathered creatures can convey emotion or even comment on society. Please join us to celebrate their powerful symbolism as seen through the eyes of 40+ artists.

This show features an eclectic collection of media: oil and acrylic on canvas and wood, mixed media on canvas and wood, textile, paper mache, ceramic, linocut prints, pencil, pen, and ink on paper, prismacolor, chalk pastel and colored pencil on paper and mylar, polymer clay and paper clay sculptures, hand stitched felt and mixed media sculpture.

Soupe de Coeur

The sun bows respectfully as night arrives to take it's place.
The Duchess is off playing croquet with the Queen.
The footmen are tending to the pig.
And in a little house about four feet high,
In the middle of an open field,
Beside a lake of tears,
A cook carefully removes the heart
Of a large green bird.
