"In my latest body of work, I explore Idaho’s diverse birds of prey, which include 34 different raptor species—the most of any state in the United States. This collection focuses on six of these remarkable birds, with the possibility of expanding the series in the future.

I approached each piece almost as a portrait, depicting a head-and-shoulders view of the bird layered over a landscape representing the environment where it can typically be found in Idaho. I also wanted to include a life-size feather from each species to help convey the scale and physical presence of these birds.

Working from actual feathers proved more challenging than I anticipated, as all feathers are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which was established to protect native North American bird species. The bold color blocks and trompe l’oeil shadows add another layer to the work and continue my exploration of these elements in my signature style." -- Randy Van Dyck
