Shpak, or Starling No. 1, is the artist's hand-drawn depiction of the bird that is her familial namesake, and the namesake of the gallery. Overlapping colors that shine brilliantly on a muted base celebrate the uncommon beauty of the common Starling. 

The piece balances calm observance with potential energy as the bird absorbs its surroundings from its perch above. The imperfect lines and visible erasure marks are part of the piece's energy, giving it a distinctly handmade character.

As a one-of-one original, Starling No.1 offers the closest connection to the artwork in its finest form: handmade, singular, and rich with the visible movement of the artist's hand.
