It started with a pair of binoculars and passion for art and observation..

The inspiration…

From a passionate birdwatcher, to reading bird books, guides and just exploring nature to making my bird explorations come to live on the canvas!

My bird tattoo not only represents my love for birds, but also my fascination with their history,
wisdom and diversity!

Plein air painting (aka outdoor art making), field drawing and nature journaling is what brings me closer to my birds, wildlife and all things nature!

follow my birding adventures on social media!

When people started to tell me there is a Mourning Dove right outside the door 🤩🤩🤩 Truly felt like a sign! Although I don’t believe in signs, that was very sweet to happen haha 🤪 There’s still time to check out my show until July 2
The theme was “secret” at this art battle final at @sidestreetsa so I picked a little owl reference with an intricate look in his eye. Even though I didn’t get past round 1, it was still a fun time to be around other artists, ever
Nature Journaling is something I just started doing. It’s kind of fun!! I feel like I could push it more and add some color in there; I’ve also seen people add little made up scenarios in the things that they’ve seen, like @amytan

    I’m such a huge fan of Maria’s and am absolutely in love with this piece! I’m working on renovating my home and, although I haven’t completed the room where this will go — it is providing me with lots of inspiration! It’s simply *stunning*. The drawing was very carefully packaged and shipped quickly as well. Thank you so much!
