Hawk Rising by Teresa Cowley

Hawk Rising

"Hawk Rising is one of my experimental pieces in which I tried to bridge the gap between fantasy and abstract art. For me, it represents rising above something that threatens to hold you back from accomplishing what it is you really want to do. It became an important piece for me as I’ve had some difficult things to deal with this year. Things that have shown me I’m a lot tougher then I thought I was.”
