“My name is Amalia. I rescue and foster pigeons in Washington DC. Fig came to me from Great Lakes Pigeon Rescue. He needed a lot of supervision and support to ensure he was healthy. He had come to the rescue with 2 broken wings and 2 broken legs. All of his injuries had healed but he had one very crooked leg and both wings were fused in a way that prevented him from walking comfortably. So the decision was made to put him through surgery to fix and pin his crooked leg and to amputate part of the worst of his droopy wings. The surgery went perfectly but recovery was hard. He was unable to move around with the bandaging and it was constant balance of keeping him happy and ensuring he was healing properly. I tried everything to help him heal in the best way possible including some very oddly arranged slings to keep him upright. 6 weeks post surgery, he finally started to move around more comfortably and we started doing physical therapy to help him recover more mobility. He loved stretches as long as he could get his most beloved sunflower hearts. And afterwards he cuddled with his lambie, he loved his lambie! Unfortunately an unexpected clot meant Fig was not meant long for this world. But his legacy lives on in the education he provided everyone in caring for him. The surgery he received was one that has rarely been done on pigeons. He lived a full life even though he deserved so much more. He passed in his sleep with his lambie in his bed and while his passing still burns, he knew he was loved. “

Elodie M. Richard was born in France but with a complex heritage including Polish and Russian. Due to her father’s career in the Army her family had to regularly move and adapt to new locations in France and abroad. Her life path as a child and adult is made of travels and regular changes of geographical locations, constantly balancing between feeling of loss, challenges and new life starts. 

Unlike a superficial society that gets lost in ultra consumption, Elodie creates a refined, symbolic and meditative world around the broad notion of identity. She takes her inspirations from personal experiences but also current events and her connection to nature.

This page shows an inventory of her work as a painter and illustrator since 2016 up to this current year. 

Some of her artworks appear as sold, if interested in an art piece, please private message Elodie.
