Created in Bozic’s signature technique of diluted acrylic on maple panel, this original painting was commissioned for Brave Baby Hummingbird (Simon & Schuster, 2024).

Beyond its role in the book, it stands as an independent work of art, embodying the fragility, resilience, and wonder that define Bozic’s larger practice.

Here, two young hummingbirds rest within the safety of a hand-built aviary, their nest bathed in gentle light as they gather strength for release into the wild—an image of care, protection, and hope.
