feathers, nests, eggs & other curiosities
Some of the most compelling things in nature are the ones we almost step over.
A pheasant feather, iridescent and architectural. A nest woven with impossible precision from materials gathered in a single season. An egg, smooth and improbable, holding everything. Kelly Leahy Radding has always been as moved by these intimate discoveries as by the grand gestures of the wild — and this gallery is where that attentiveness lives.
These works are among her most personal: quiet meditations on the overlooked abundance of the natural world, painted with the same care and slow layering she brings to her larger pieces. Many are smaller in scale, making them a natural entry point for collectors who are encountering her work for the first time. They are also, in the truest sense, portraits — of objects that carry entire worlds within them.
