Darlene Nelson Desert Bird Sculpture

Original sculpture by New Mexico artist Darlene Nelson. Nelson is celebrated for her desert creatures crafted from gathered materials, including tree roots, desert plant parts, feathers, bone, clay, and acrylic paint. This alert bird sculpture is meticulously crafted from mesquite tree root, dried Agave leaf tips, feathers, clay, and handmade glass eyes. Purchased directly from the artist in 2014, this unique piece captures the essence of the Southwestern desert.
