Spirit Birds
Wings of imagination, direct your Spirit to freely soar!
Sculptural art with engaging inspirational function. The warmth of the undulating wood wings combine with an artisan glass marble that I’ve carefully captured with tolerances that allow the marble to rotate and spin. The Spirit Bird's function is to spark curiosity and imagination which naturally ignites the illimitable and inimitable potential (spirit) within each of us.

Spirit Bird & Dreamsphere unite to inspire the imagination. I designed and sculpted these Spirit Birds with raised center pedestal to set the colorful Dreamsphere upon. The warmth and beauty of the elegantly shaped wood wonderfully displays the brilliant iridescent colors of the radiant light sphere. The Dreamsphere is by artist John Lowe of the UK whose Palantir sphere was featured in The Lord of The Rings.
