This post is dedicated to my inspiration behind the traveler series installed at Caffe Ibis during December 2023-January 2024. It offers further background for each painting, although I fully encourage your own interpretation of each piece.

“This series focuses on a traveler in search of a home. Sometimes the thoughtful fox, the ambitious squirrel, or a small person, they head out into the world looking for a place to belong. Our traveler is influenced by its friends and mentors, symbolized by the everpresent sparrow or busy woodpecker. The quatrefoil is repeated in some way through each piece, indicating a spiritual journey as well as a physical one.”

Let’s get into it.

Thanks for reading. I hope you find the rest and shelter you need on your journey.
